Verify Go Version #33

Closed mdwiltfong closed 1 week ago

It would be helpful if the CLI could notify the user that they are potentially using an outdated version Go.

For example, in this lesson I spent a lot of time trying to debug why the tests were failing only to find a hint in the Discord that maybe my Go version was the issue. I was using 1.21 when upgrading it to 1.22.5 resolved the issue.

I think it would be beneficial to offer a command to check this, and then potentially update the lessons to guide learners to use this command.

Now the CLI forces people to upgrade for minor versions. Thank you for reporting this.
