Thank you for the tip, I just did this myself.

I would like to add, to those noobs such as myself. If you do this tip after all the other steps in the article and it is saying no command when you run “hello” make sure you do the source command on the file where you added the path env variables like

$ source ~/.profile

If you don’t do this, it won’t work. (took me a couple of min of it not working to remember about the source command ran earlier.)

If you export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN as well then you could just call hello instead of $GOBIN/hello. Just a suggestion but maybe that's not the proper way to do things... newer Linux user here!
