Credits

This library was heavily, heavily, heavily inspired by @sstephenson's rbenv and ruby-build projects. A few ideas were also taken from nvm.

A number of patterns and utilities are borrowed from that project, and it is my hope that goenv provides the same simplicity, elegance, and usability that I've come to love in rbenv and ruby-build for Go users.
