`go get github.com/golang/example/stringutil` doesn't work in the treehouse workspace as it does in the video.

I get the following log:

treehouse:~/workspace$ go get github.com/golang/example/stringutil

That is probably a question for support since I don't think you can make the changes necessary to get it to work. I was however able to download go and run the course code locally. Current go version is 1.14. Treehouse has:

treehouse:~/workspace$ go version                                    
go version go1.6.2 linux/amd64
