From fee02d270bf850d5b390000d8545c3609718e9a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Lance Taylor Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 06:42:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cmd/go: clarify go get documentation Make the documentation for `go get` match the documentation for `go install`, since `go get` essentially invokes `go install`. Update #15825.
