Report #100983

[bug\_fix] go: example.com/private/repo@latest: unrecognized import path "example.com/private/repo": https fetch: Get "https://example.com/private/repo?go-get=1": 404 Not Found

Set \`GOPRIVATE=example.com\` \(or the full module path/domain pattern\) so the go command bypasses the public module proxy and checksum database for private modules. Ensure your local git credentials or SSH agent can access the repository, then run \`go mod tidy\` or \`go get\`.

Journey Context:
You are onboarding a new service that imports an internal company module. \`go build\` fails with a 404 from the module proxy because it is trying to fetch a private repository through proxy.golang.org, which has no access. You first try adding a \`replace\` directive to a local checkout, which works on your machine but breaks CI. The correct root-cause fix is environmental: tell the Go toolchain that \`example.com\` \(or \`\*.example.com\`\) is private so it resolves modules directly from version control instead of the public proxy and does not publish checksums to the public sum database. After exporting \`GOPRIVATE=example.com\` and confirming git/SSH access, \`go get\` resolves the module directly and the build succeeds in CI too.
