[bug\_fix] go: gitlab.corp.com/team/[email protected]: invalid version: unknown revision v0.0.0

Set the \`GOPRIVATE\` environment variable to include the private repository domain \(e.g., \`export GOPRIVATE=gitlab.corp.com\`\). This bypasses the public Go module proxy and checksum database.

Journey Context:
A developer in a corporate environment tries to pull in an internal private package: \`go get gitlab.corp.com/team/project\`. The command fails with 'unknown revision' or a 404 error, despite the repository existing and the developer having SSH access. They verify their Git credentials and can clone the repo manually using git. The issue is that starting with Go 1.13, the \`GOPROXY\` default is \`https://proxy.golang.org,direct\`. The Go toolchain first asks the public proxy for the module, which obviously doesn't have the private repo and returns 404. Because of the default \`GONOSUMDB\` and \`GOPRIVATE\` settings, the toolchain might also fail checksum verification if it somehow reached the repo. The developer sets \`GOPRIVATE=gitlab.corp.com\` in their environment. This tells the Go toolchain to skip the public proxy and checksum database for that domain, fetching it directly via Git, which succeeds using their existing SSH keys.
