go get command does not provide output nor take effect
go
Solution
$ go help get
usage: go get [-d] [-f] [-fix] [-insecure] [-t] [-u] [build flags] [packages]
Get downloads the packages named by the import paths, along with their
dependencies. It then installs the named packages, like 'go install'.
The -u flag instructs get to use the network to update the named packages
and their dependencies. By default, get uses the network to check out
missing packages but does not use it to look for updates to existing packages.
The -v flag enables verbose progress and debug output.

If there is nothing to do then there is nothing to report. For example, when `go get` is run for the first time it downloads and installs, after that it does nothing because there is nothing to do, unless you force an update:
$ go get -v github.com/aclements/perflock/cmd/perflock
github.com/aclements/perflock (download)
github.com/aclements/perflock/internal/cpupower
github.com/aclements/perflock/cmd/perflock
$ go get -v github.com/aclements/perflock/cmd/perflock
$ go get -v github.com/aclements/perflock/cmd/perflock
$ go get -v -u github.com/aclements/perflock/cmd/perflock
github.com/aclements/perflock (download)
$ go get -v -u github.com/aclements/perflock/cmd/perflock
github.com/aclements/perflock (download)
$ go get -v github.com/aclements/perflock/cmd/perflock
$ go get -v github.com/aclements/perflock/cmd/perflock

Problem
I have installed go on my mac ``` go version ``` output: ``` go version go1.8.1 darwin/amd64 ``` AND ``` go env ``` output: ``` GOARCH="amd64" GOBIN="" GOEXE="" GOHOSTARCH="amd64" GOHOSTOS="darwin" GOOS="darwin" GOPATH="/Users/MYUSERNAME/go/" GORACE="" GOROOT="/usr/local/go" GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64" GCCGO="gccgo" CC="clang" GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fno-caret-diagnostics -Qunused-arguments -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/var/folders/np/ts5bwp_91ns22l9h751h2j8r0000gn/T/go-build124313959=/tmp/go-build -gno-record-gcc-switches -fno-common" CXX="clang++" CGO_ENABLED="1" PKG_CONFIG="pkg-config" CGO_CFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_CPPFLAGS="" CGO_CXXFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_FFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_LDFLAGS="-g -O2" ``` when I ran the following go get command: ``` go get -v github.com/miku/esbulk/cmd/esbulk ``` it neither generating any output nor does anything. Just nothing happened. Update 1 in GOPATH/pkg folder there is darwin_amd64 folder, in darwin_amd64 folder there is ``` github.com/miku/esbulk.a ```
