I was able to compile with "go" under my home directory finally and run 
a few commands on git-bug repo. There is the next step of trying to see 
if it works for other repos.

I still have my concerns about dependency on "go" and I would like to 
get this to work under a non-home directory structure.

My thoughts on this are: "we needed a solution yesterday" and we can't 
start building a shelter for rain while its raining. We need some 
interim solution, even if we choose to explore a long term project 
development idea.
