Above I have replaced my username with xxx

What did you do?

Very simple. I am trying to do "go install" on github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/migrate.go
My env vars are correctly exported (since years).

What I have trided:
$ cd ~/go/src/github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/
$ go install migrate.go
go install: no install location for .go files listed on command line (GOBIN not set)
$ echo $GOBIN
/Users/xxx/go/bin
$ ls $GOBIN
long list of installed go binaries.
$ echo $GOPATH
/Users/xxx/go
$ export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
$ echo $GOBIN
/Users/xxx/go/bin
$ go install migrate.go
go install: no install location for .go files listed on command line (GOBIN not set)

What did you expect to see?

Expected it to install migrate

What did you see instead?

go install: no install location for .go files listed on command line (GOBIN not set)
when GOBIN IS set, exported, exists, and has the correct ownership and permissions.
