About " . ":
If you are a ordinary user or you can afford adding . in your $PATH (and understand its possible consequences...) at the condition its at the end of your PATH variable ( for security reason already mentionned ), if you were a developper you would I imagine create a bin directory in your $HOME and add that to your PATH variable instead, avoiding like that the risk of being spoofed...
Adding a relative directory into your PATH can have problems beyond the obvious.
Many shells cache a list of available commands they find in PATH. Put a relative directory in there, and they may not always find all available commands because they don't know the cache needs to be regenerated every time you cd. Some may even crash if you put a relative directory in PATH.

go-path
GO-PATH(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual GO-PATH(7)
NAME
go - tool for managing Go source code
DESCRIPTION
The Go path is used to resolve import statements. It is implemented by and documented in the go/build package.
The GOPATH environment variable lists places to look for Go code. On Unix, the value is a colon-separated string. On Windows, the value
is a semicolon-separated string. On Plan 9, the value is a list.
GOPATH must be set to build and install packages outside the standard Go tree.
Each directory listed in GOPATH must have a prescribed structure:
The src/ directory holds source code. The path below 'src' determines the import path or executable name.
The pkg/ directory holds installed package objects. As in the Go tree, each target operating system and architecture pair has its own sub-
directory of pkg (pkg/GOOS_GOARCH).
If DIR is a directory listed in the GOPATH, a package with source in DIR/src/foo/bar can be imported as "foo/bar" and has its compiled form
installed to "DIR/pkg/GOOS_GOARCH/foo/bar.a".
The bin/ directory holds compiled commands. Each command is named for its source directory, but only the final element, not the entire
path. That is, the command with source in DIR/src/foo/quux is installed into DIR/bin/quux, not DIR/bin/foo/quux. The foo/ is stripped so
that you can add DIR/bin to your PATH to get at the installed commands. If the GOBIN environment variable is set, commands are installed
to the directory it names instead of DIR/bin.
Here's an example directory layout:
GOPATH=/home/user/gocode
/home/user/gocode/
src/
foo/
bar/ (go code in package bar)
x.go
quux/ (go code in package main)
y.go
bin/
quux (installed command)
pkg/
linux_amd64/
foo/
bar.a (installed package object)
Go searches each directory listed in GOPATH to find source code, but new packages are always downloaded into the first directory in the
list.
