How to import a module from github repository in another branch

i wanna use a module from github, this module is in another branch

im trying to use fyne to create user interfaces in go and i get this error in go run

go run main.go 
Fyne error:  window creation error
Cause: VersionUnavailable: GLX: Failed to create context: GLXBadFBConfig
At: /home/kefd/go/pkg/mod/fyne.io/fyne/v2@v2.1.1/internal/driver/glfw/driver.go:121

i see that if i use the branch develop this problem with opengl is solved, how i can use ?

GitHub - fyne-io/fyne at develop

Roll back to OpenGL 2.0

Hi @kefd.

You can manually check out that branch via go get:

go get fyne.io/fyne/v2@develop

(See also Mapping branches and commits to versions in the module spec.)

go.mod then contains a require directive with a generated pseudo-version that maps to the latest commit, e.g.:

require fyne.io/fyne/v2 v2.1.2-0.20211031193424-ac6dfb40fa87 // indirect

You’ll actually want to keep them out of git, because they tend to be huge (a lot of small files that will make your work with git heavier/slower). The package.json and package-lock.json should be enough for these dependencies to be easily downloaded again.

You can use https//gitignore.io to create a .gitignore file based on the technologies and dev tools you use. If you add “npm” to the list, it will add node_modules to the excluded files.
