The title was so confusing to me, the reason I opened the link was to understand how you made the SSH tunnel manager learn the GO programming language

I don't think the title is confusing, if that were the desired meaning then it'd say "I made an SSH tunnel manager learn Go" i.e. no "to".

I don't think "I made X to do Y" ever means "I made X do Y" does it?

Not for native speakers, but I've heard non-native speakers use "I made X to do Y" in that way.

To be fair: it is a "Show HN" title (which I believe is typically used to denote a project being "shown [off]" by the op).
