Using go get to retrieve modules / packages from a private server

[NobbZ (Norbert Melzer)]

@dwschulze

go get thinks the server name is part of a package name or path

The server name is part of the package name! This is how packages in go work.

@dwschulze

All the .go files in one of those subdirectories belong to the same package. That’s how go packages have always worked.

Yes, thats true and I won’t object.

@dwschulze

Just about every git project I’ve written has a src/ directory under which are other directories containing .go files.

So it does not contain a GOPATH like structure, thats fine.

Though then the package to go get is the one that contains your go files. You can not go get empty packages.

As I said earlier, in my company we have no problems using private repositories, as long as we have those git configuration in place I mentioned earlier.

In our code it looks like this:

import "example.com/group/project/package"

It works like a charm.
