Cannot go get install

[andyafter]

I am installing with go get -u ... from OSX and I get this

# cd /Users/andy.pan/gopath/src/golang.org/x/tools; git pull --ff-only
fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.
package golang.org/x/tools/go/gcexportdata: exit status 128

Might be just some simple issue but could anyone help me with this?

It looks like your golang.org/x/tools history has diverged from upstream for some reason. Either you made some local changes to it, or the upstream has force-pushed an incompatible commit (less likely).

The fix is simple. Make sure you don’t have any work you might lose in the golang.org/x/tools repository, and simply remove it. Alternatively, you can reset it:

cd /Users/andy.pan/gopath/src/golang.org/x/tools
git checkout master
git reset --hard origin/master

Then you can try go get -u github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs again.
