Installing Golang on OSX with Brew and oh-my-zsh

brew install go worked well, as expected. However, at the end of the installation, the notes suggest I add GOROOT to my path:

You may wish to add the GOROOT-based install location to your PATH: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin

Buuuuut, it didn’t work. After trying out some different iterations, I was reminded when ls-ing through the surrounding directories that /usr/local/opt/go/... was aliased because Homebrew. This Stack Overflow answer reinforced my hunch. So, I updated my .zshrc:

export GOPATH="/Users/IceKing/Code/go"
export GOROOT="/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.7.1/libexec"
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$HOME/.npm-packages/bin:$GOROOT"

and it worked.

Background: homebrew, the missing package manager for osx | oh my zsh shell | golang
