Introduction
Do you love the simplicity of being able to download & compile golang applications with 'go get', but wish it were easier to manage the compiled binaries?
Introducing Bingo:

Features
- Keeps a link between the installed binary and the source package
- Can install binaries to a location of your choice

If you're looking for better ways to manage binaries installed via 'go get', I hope you will give my project a try.
