x/tools/cmd/getgo: Create a page for get.golang.org

[spf13]

We need to create a web page to live at get.golang.org that has directions on installing go via the one line installer.

It would also be good to have additional directions on obtaining and using the installer as it does more than just the one-liner installation.

@spf13 I'd like to help. A couple of questions:

1. Where do you see this living in the repo?
2. Should it pull in the existing golang.org template / styling?

I'm fine with it having a one pager style instead (see http://vim.spf13.com for an example of what I'm talking about). No need to overthink it though. Whatever is easiest and effective is good. On Fri, Aug 11, 2017 at 7:03 PM Steve Francia <steve.francia@gmail.com> wrote:

Should live under cmd/getgo/server (a separate file). No need for much style for a first cut, but I'm OK if you hotlink the CSS from golang.org.

@broady @spf13 Got it. I'll get started on a rough draft, and open a PR for something basic to go under cmd/getgo/server

@olingern Are you still working on this? Please let me know if you need help.

Change https://golang.org/cl/115775 mentions this issue: cmd/getgo: add root http handler for get.golang.org

[psampaz]

@spf13 this is tagged as abandoned here https://golang.org/cl/115775. Is it really abandoned?
It seems very useful especially combined with Go modules.
