Issue
How can I find the latest version number of Go without knowing what the exact version number is of the latest version? This in order to construct the download url.
When release is on GitHub I can do this with for example
curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins/releases/latest" | jq -r '.assets[] | .browser_download_url')
But as the download url's are not on GitHub but on https://golang.org/dl/ I'd love to find out how to find the latest Go version number.
Solution
got this from the ml,
# setup go
VERSION=`curl https://golang.org/VERSION?m=text`
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/$VERSION.windows-amd64.msi
