How to permanently set GOPATH environmental variable

Question

I set GOPATH as an environment variable on my Ubuntu VM as the following: export GOPATH="/go" and it works fine.

The problem is, after I reboot my machine GOPATH is no longer an environment variable.

How to permanently set $PATH on Linux/Unix?, but in my case I need to set an environment variable and not path.

Why is that and how can I set it permanently?

You have to just paste the command you are manually typing on the terminal at the end of the file. — AmeyaVS, Jun 12 '19 at 08:43

Edit (or create) ~/.bashrc and add the line there. That's assuming that you have stuck to the defaults and not chosen a different shell.
