Quick one here, if you run into the following error when trying to download a go package using Babun
go get -u -v github.com/cosiner/argv
github.com/cosiner/argv (download)
# cd .; git clone https://github.com/cosiner/argv C:\Users\Mohammad Al-Shami\go\src\github.com\cosiner\argv
Cloning into 'C:\Users\Mohammad Al-Shami\go\src\github.com\cosiner\argv'...
fatal: Invalid path '/cygdrive/c/Users/Mohammad Al-Shami/Desktop/go/C:\Users\Mohammad Al-Shami\go\src\github.com\cosiner\argv': No such file or directory
package github.com/cosiner/argv: exit status 128
This is because Babun comes with it’s own version of git which is Unix based and doesn’t understand Windows file paths. A simple solution is to use the Windows version of git and give it a higher priority.
# ~/.zshrc
export PATH=/c/bin/git/bin:$PATH
Just restart your shell or source ~/.zshrc and you’re ready to go.
Happy development.
