In the below code:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func main() {

    var a, b int8 = -4, 4
    fmt.Printf("%b\n", a)

    fmt.Printf("%08b\n", a)

    fmt.Printf("%08b\n", b)
    //fmt.Println("a and b have same sign?", (a^b) >= 0)
}

---

gives output with minus sign:

-100
-0000100
00000100
