    - name: Get dependencies
      run: |
        go get -v -t -d ./...
        if [ -f Gopkg.toml ]; then

Answer 1

This is not a correct answer for the OP, but may help someone reaching here from searching.

In the root of your go project:

go mod init
go mod tidy

Commit and push to github, and it should work now.

Answer 2

You need to setup a token for go get or go mod to download private repos, thats why you're getting a 404

Then you need to configure git to use that token.

- name: Setup Git
  run: git config --global url."https://${{ secrets.TOKEN }}:@github.com/".insteadOf "https://github.com"

I don't use dep, but you should use go mod download instead of go get or dep since you have a mod file.
