you're using go installed by homebrew, not the installer.

Unlike many projects, the Go project does not use GitHub Issues for general discussion or asking questions. GitHub Issues are used for tracking bugs and proposals only.

@seankhliao, you are wrong. I'm always installing Go with installers from https://go.dev. But 1.20 is not installing correctly. Looks like it's bug in your installer for this version.

[Moranilt]

Exactly what helped: brew uninstall go
I have no clue how go1.19.5 have been instaled on my PC after running go1.20.0 installer. Anyway you helped me. Thank you.

P.S. Maybe it's a bug.

Homebrew may have installed go as a dependency of something else you installed.
The Go installer does not interact with homebrew.
