Cannot install private Go module

Question

I have a private project which uses a private module at github.com/company/company-product . When I try to build the project, I get:

go: github.com/company/company-product@v1.0.4: reading github.com/company/company-product/go.mod at revision v1.0.4: unknown revision v1.0.4

Things I have tried:

• Checked that the tag exists
• go env -w GO111MODULE=on
• go env -w GOPRIVATE=github.com/company/company-product
• export GOPRIVATE=github.com/company/*
• export GONOPROXY=github.com/company/*
• export GONOSUMDB=github.com/company/*
• Configured git to use ssh://git@github.com/ instead of https://github.com/
• Configured git to use ssh://$PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN@github.com/ instead of https://github.com/
• Deleted everything in $GOPATH/pkg
• go clean
• go mod download , go mod tidy , go mod vendor (which all produce the above error)
• Restarted my computer
• Connected to my company's VPN

And yet I still get the same error.

Answer 1

It looks like the key was to do things in a certain order:

1. Reinstall Go
2. Set environment variables GOPRIVATE, GONOPROSXY, GONOSUMDB to github.com/company/*
3. Remove the folder $GOPATH/pkg
4. Setup Git to use ssh://git@github.com/ instead of https://github.com/
5. Run go get github.com/company/company-product

Answer 2

the solution which worked for me;

1. go env -w GOPRIVATE=github.com/company
2. git config --global url."https://username:accesstoken@github.com".insteadOf "https://github.com"
3. env GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=1 go get github.com/company/privaterepo
