How to add subdir bin of first dir in GOPATH to PATH
echo $GOPATH will print:
/mnt/star/program/go/package:/mnt/star/git_repository/workspace/go_workplace
There are 2 dir, I want to append the first dir's sub dir bin/ to $PATH.
If I write $PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin, then actually it append 2 dir to $PATH:
/mnt/star/program/go/package
This only contains dirs, it should be/mnt/star/program/go/package/bin.
/mnt/star/git_repository/workspace/go_workplace/bin
This actually shouldn't be added to$PATH.
BTW, there are cases that $GOPATH only contains one dir, in that case simply append $GOPATH/bin will work.
I am looking for a solution that fit for both cases. So, how to write this in bash config file?

You can use:
PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH%%:*}/bin"
Or
PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH%:*}/bin"
Both will work because, there could be max 1 :.
It will remove the part after :. So in your first case it will remove second directory and in your second case, there will be no pattern like :*, so there will be no change in the directory name.

Yes, that's exactly it! Only improvement this could get is default to~/goif not defined (which is default since Go 1.8 I believe) but this answers the asked question perfectly, thanks!

PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH%%:*}/bin"
The asterisk is a glob, not a regular expression. Two percentage signs means to remove the maximum that it can match from the back, so even if there were three or more directories, you would only get the first one.
If there's nothing to remove, it doesn't remove anything, so you get the only path if there's only one.

It's the opposite... It's supposed to keep the first part, so you need to remove the last part. This is definitely the best answer, so if you fix it toPATH=$PATH:${GOPATH%%:*}/binI'll definitely upvote it!
