Trying to work with go on mint, but environment variables don't show up

Linux Mint

I’m trying to get golang running properly.

So I added the directory where the go binary is located to $PATH, which worked fine. Then I tried adding $GOROOT and $GOPATH… and for some reason they don’t show up in my environment.

Any idea on what might be amiss?

My .profile:

# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.

# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
	. "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi

PATH="$PATH:$HOME/go/bin"
GOROOT="$HOME/go"
GOPATH="$HOME/projects/go_learn"

The result of env | grep GO was empty.

Instant solution (probably): edit .pam_environment! Who would have thought. In its infinite wisdom a non-standard place to store stuff. FUN! >:(

You should ignore upper-/lowercase, or use the matching case
Please try with grep -i.
