Report #98697

[bug\_fix] go: github.com/myorg/private/[email protected]: reading github.com/myorg/private/pkg/go.mod at revision v1.0.0: git ls-remote -q origin in /tmp/gopath/pkg/mod/cache/vcs/...: exit status 128: fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled

Set \`GOPRIVATE=github.com/myorg/\*\` so Go bypasses the public proxy and checksum database for private modules, and configure Git to rewrite HTTPS URLs to SSH: \`git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"\`. Ensure the runner or developer has an SSH key with read access to the private repo.

Journey Context:
A fresh CI runner fails to download an internal dependency. The public Go proxy returns a 404 for the private repo, and when Go falls back to direct Git access over HTTPS the runner has no TTY to prompt for credentials, producing the terminal-prompts-disabled error. You set GOPRIVATE to stop Go from asking the public proxy or sum.golang.org about your org's modules, then switch Git to SSH authentication so the runner can use its deployed key. After configuring both environment variables and Git, \`go mod download\` succeeds. The fix works because Go treats public and private modules differently: public modules are fetched through GOPROXY and verified against the checksum database, while private modules must be fetched directly and excluded from that verification.
