Trying to get Go modules to play ball with private repos?

go modules are wonderful. All go code should use them.

It can still be a bit tricky getting private repos to work with go mod. Maybe these tips help… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• Set up SSH keys with your version control vendor

• Add the following to your ~/.gitconfig:

    [url "ssh://git@github.com/"]
        insteadOf = https://github.com/
    [url "ssh://git@gitlab.com/"]
      insteadOf = https://gitlab.com/
    [url "ssh://git@bitbucket.org/"]
      insteadOf = https://bitbucket.org/

• Add the offending repo as a private repo:

    go env -w GOPRIVATE=gitlab.com/you/your-project,github.com/someone/their-project
