The error message is like following:

same error for me

[Spacebody]

Can anyone give some help? @sqs

[Spacebody]

@cocodrino I have solved this problem by compiling the source myself.

1. git clone the repo and modify the line 23 from "github.com/sqs/goreturns/returns" to "./returns"
2. Compile the source by go build goreturns.go then move the binary file to the go directory, in my Mac it is ~/go.

[sqs]

Hmm, this should not be happening. What is the output of git remote -v in your goreturns directory?

[Spacebody]

@sqs The output of the command in the cloned repo is:

origin	https://github.com/sqs/goreturns.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/sqs/goreturns.git (push)

But when execute the installation command presented in the README, it returns such problem in my first post.

This error occurs when i try to install package
go get -u github.com/sqs/goreturns

cd /Users/mac/Documents/go/src/github.com/sqs/goreturns; git pull --ff-only

Although I'm not sure why the actual command was failing, I managed to get it working as below.
I ran git pull origin master and go install from the goreturns directory
