How to set GOPRIVATE environment variable

Short Answer:

go env -w GOPRIVATE=github.com/repoURL/private-repo

OR

If you want to allow all private repos from your organization

go env -w GOPRIVATE=github.com/<OrgNameHere>/*

Long Answer:

Check “Module configuration for non-public modules” for more information:

The GOPRIVATE environment variable controls which modules the go command considers to be private (not available publicly) and should therefore not use the proxy or checksum database. The variable is a comma-separated list of glob patterns (in the syntax of Go’s path.Match) of module path prefixes. For example,

 GOPRIVATE=*.corp.example.com,rsc.io/private

causes the go command to treat as private any module with a path prefix matching either pattern, including git.corp.example.com/xyzzy, rsc.io/private, and rsc.io/private/quux.

. .

The ‘go env -w’ command (see ‘go help env’) can be used to set these variables for future go command invocations.

Note on the usage of ssh:

If you use ssh to access git repo (locally hosted), you might want to add the following to your ~/.gitconfig:

[url "ssh://[email protected]/"]
       insteadOf = https://git.local.intranet/

for the go commands to be able to access the git server.
