About

If your $GOROOT is in ~/goroot and your $GOPATH is in ~/go, you want to make sure that your new go version goes to the right folder. By default the go tar file will unpack with go/ as a prefix directory, thus we want to remove that when unpacking, thus the --strip-components=1.

tar -C ~/goroot -xzvf go$VERSION.linux-amd64.tar.gz --strip-components=1
