I can't test this (I'm on a Mac), but try the following:

Get GOPATH:

go env GOPATH

You should be able to open the folder listed and see a folder called bin. Check that sql-migrate (or maybe sql-migrate.exe is in the bin folder. If it's not there, you most likely didn't install it correctly.

Add the full path to the bin folder (I'm on MacOS, so my path looks like /Users/bbkane/go/bin -ou're on Windows, so yours will look different) to your PATH environmental variable with these instructions

Even on my Mac, I was running into this issue. For me, since I use zsh for my terminal, I had to run: 

code ~/.zshrc

Then put this line in the file:

export PATH="$PATH:/Users/landonschlangen/go/bin"

Once I did so, the sql-migrate command finally started working.

On windows go get does not provide executable.

Build requires gcc which usually is not installed
