Well - then read pathogen docs. It tells you how to run helptags
automatically (or switch to a plugin manager which does this
automatically in a sane way (on install/update) such as
vim-addon-mangaer)

You're missing basic understanding of Vim commands:

vim provided commands are lower case only
plugin provided commands are always starting with upper case.

Vim of course does not ship with :godoc command AFAIK for obvious
reasons. Thus reread documentation, open the plugin/* files and look for
command which defines a plugin provided Vim command or such.

Also ensure plugin and filetype is enabled in your .vimrc
Eg see here http://vim-wiki.mawercer.de/wiki/topic/vimrc.html

VimL)
