使用go get从本地存储库和私有仓库中检索

Question

Hi my goal is to have go get retrieve from a private repo on github.

The problem I am having is that I am committing into a folder structure that is outside of my GOPATH. So I want to test that what I have works before I commit.

1) How do I make go get retrieve from a local directory that is outside my path. Say my go code is in a directory $HOME/project/ How can I tell go get to retrieve the package and place it in the appropriate github.com folder structure so that my package references work?

2) How can I use go get to pull from a private repo? Should it just ask for my username and password?

Answer 1

You cannot do neither 1) nor 2) (easily). go get is not intended to be used this way.
