# Hashicorp documentation is a bit out of date so it took a minute to figure this out...

# 1. Install go 
https://golang.org/dl/

# 2. Make a go workspace
$ mkdir ~/go          # or wherever you want
$ export GOPATH=~/go  # could add to .bash_profile
$ export PATH=$GOPATH:$PATH

# 3. Clone/build terraform
$ cd $GOPATH
$ mkdir -p src/github.com/hashicorp 
$ cd src/github.com/hashicorp/
$ git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform.git
$ cd terraform/
$ make

# 4. Fork/code
fork the main repository for your provider (e.g., https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws.git)
make your changes, add your acceptance test

# 5. Clone YOUR terraform-providers (separate git)
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone https://github.com/<YOUR-REPO>/terraform-provider-aws.git

# 6. Run acceptance test
$ make testacc TEST=github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/aws TESTARGS='-run=TestAccAWSSpotInstanceRequest_withoutSpotPrice'

# 7. Successful output looks like...
==> Checking that code complies with gofmt requirements...
