$ getgo
Welcome to the Go installer!
Downloading Go version go1.8.3 to /Users/jbd/.go
This may take a bit of time...
Downloaded!
Setting up GOPATH

One more thing! Run `source /Users/jbd/.zshrc` to persist the
new environment variables to your current session, or open a
new shell prompt.

Then when I do a which go in a new shell, it points to the earlier installation. We should probably warn the user if there is already a Go installation available (at a different location) on the system and recommend user to remove it before proceeding.
