Is it possible to use my own private go package in a lambda that is deployed through github actions?

Question

I published a private package to my organizations github repository. When I try to deploy a lambda through github actions that uses this package, I get an error saying "fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled Confirm the import path was entered correctly." Is there an extra line that I need to add to my yml file or would this permission need to be given in the package itself?

I think you should Configure git for private modules in the GitHub action, adding one simple step in your workflow, like:

  - name: Configure git for private modules
    env:
      GITHUB_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GH_API_TOKEN }}
    run: git config --global url."https://x:${GITHUB_API_TOKEN}@github.com".insteadOf "https://github.com"

And add the GH_API_TOKEN secrets in the repo in order to be able to download the go modules during build step, like the go mod tidy command.
