[bug\_fix] go: github.com/myorg/[email protected]: reading at revision v0.0.1: unknown revision v0.0.1

Set the GOPRIVATE environment variable to match your private repository paths \(e.g., go env -w GOPRIVATE=github.com/myorg/\*\) and ensure your git credentials are configured for CLI access.

Journey Context:
A developer creates a private GitHub repository, tags a release, and attempts to use it in another project via 'go get'. The command fails with a 404 or 'unknown revision'. They verify the tag exists and their SSH keys work for 'git clone'. The root cause is that by default, the Go toolchain uses the public Go module proxy \(proxy.golang.org\) and checksum database \(sum.golang.org\) to fetch dependencies. The public proxy cannot access private repositories, so it returns a 404. The fix is to configure the GOPRIVATE environment variable. This tells the Go tool to bypass the public proxy and fetch the module directly from the source repository using the underlying VCS \(like git\), which then uses the developer's existing git credentials.
