Report #93716

[bug\_fix] go: github.com/myorg/[email protected]: reading https://sum.golang.org/lookup/github.com/myorg/[email protected]: 404 Not Found

Set the GOPRIVATE environment variable to include the private repository path \(e.g., export GOPRIVATE=github.com/myorg/\*\). This instructs the Go toolchain to bypass the public proxy and checksum database, fetching directly from the source repository using local git credentials.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a private internal library as a dependency. They run go mod tidy or go get, but it fails with a 404 from sum.golang.org or proxy.golang.org. They might initially think their git credentials are broken or the tag doesn't exist. They check GitHub and see the tag is there. They might try go clean -modcache or re-authenticating git. Eventually, they realize the Go proxy is intercepting the request and failing because it doesn't have access to the private repo. Setting GOPRIVATE fixes it by routing the request directly through their configured git credentials, bypassing the public infrastructure entirely.
