What should it do?

The current instructions to install via go get are deprecated in the recent versions of go.

Following the steps in README.md,
go get -u github.com/wtfutil/wtfgives this error:

go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory. 'go get' is no longer supported outside a module. To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version, like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest' ...

Running go install (which is a great way to install command line utilities) gives this error:

 $go install github.com/wtfutil/wtf@latest go: downloading github.com/wtfutil/wtf v0.43.0 go: github.com/wtfutil/wtf@latest (in github.com/wtfutil/wtf@v0.43.0): The go.mod file for the module providing named packages contains one or more replace directives. It must not contain directives that would cause it to be interpreted differently than if it were the main module.

It would be terrific to be able to install wtfutil using go install. I have found it to be a reliable way to install command line utilities, in particular.
