Make compatible with go install

[shtirlic]

Is it possible to install via

go install github.com/bensadeh/circumflex@latest

now it's error with

go install github.com/bensadeh/circumflex@latest                                                                 1 ↵

This is something I'd like to add, but as far as I understand this issue is currently blocking it.

Since clx is the binary name (as opposed to circumflex), go install currently does not offer a way to rename the binary on install.

Is it an option to settle with either clx or circumflex as the binary name?

The current instructions to install from source appear to be building and running instead of installing clx. This can be confusing for ones not familiar with golang (like myself). If we wait on golang/go#44469 we might be in for a long long time.

Also, solving this would make it easy for me to install clx using asdf-vm. I use asdf-golang plugin to install go packages. This way I can just add the repo URL to my .default-golang-pkgs file and not have to think about it.

These are mere suggestions so please take them with a grain of salt.

I am not sure what you mean by settle on either clx or circumflex as the binary name. clx is the binary name for running circumflex (same as rg is the binary name for running ripgrep).

I agree that the installation instructions are a bit confusing for running from source, I will update it to use go install locally, which will put the clx binary in $GOPATH/bin.

I've posted and pinned #37 which I hope can be a good workaround for users looking for simple ways to install circumflex until we can use go install.

Thanks for updating the instructions 5c4176c. It's less confusing now. I installed circumflex using go install from source and clx is in my path. 👍

@krmbzds Great! :)

Hope in the future that installing circumlex will be easier and simpler.
