Title says it all. I have a directory with my code in "%USERPROFILE%". Let me call it Dev. I made a environment variable called "%DEV%" to make it easier to access the dir. %GOPATH% is "%DEV%\Go". When I use "go get" it does not expand "%DEV%" to "%USERPROFILE%\Dev" or "C:\Users\user\Dev" but downloads sources to "%USERPROFILE%%DEV%".

It does not say anywhere in go command documentation that it will expand environment variables. Does it?

Why should "go get" command expand environment variables? Windows shell does the expansion. If you want to use that (you can create small batch file that prepares all your go environment variables), that is fine. But I don't see why go should meddle in here.

I think it is working as intended.
