What's the proper way to "go get" a private repository?
I'm searching for the way to get $ go get work with private repository, after many google try.
The first try:
$ go get -v gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go
Fetching https://gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go?go-get=1
https fetch failed.
Fetching http://gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go?go-get=1
Parsing meta tags from http://gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go?go-get=1 (status code 200)
import "gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go": parse http://gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go?go-get=1: no go-import meta tags
package gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go: unrecognized import path "gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go
Yep, it did not see the meta tags because I could not know how to provide login information.
The second try:
Follow https://gist.github.com/shurcooL/6927554. Add config to .gitconfig.
[url "ssh://[email protected]/"]
insteadOf = https://gitlab.com/
$ go get -v gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go --> not work
$ go get -v gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go.git --> work but I got src/gitlab.com/secmask/awserer-go.git
Yes it work but with .git extension with my project name, I can rename it to original but do it everytime $ go get is not so good, is there an otherway?
Answer
You have one thing to configure. The example is based on GitHub but this shouldn't change the process:
$ git config --global [email protected]:.insteadOf https://github.com/
$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[url "[email protected]:"]
insteadOf = https://github.com/
$ go get github.com/private/repo
For Go modules to work (with Go 1.11 or newer), you'll also need to set the GOPRIVATE variable, to avoid using the public servers to fetch the code:
export GOPRIVATE=github.com/private/repo
