I'm on a Apple MAC Laptop, go get command is not working. I have normal git access, I can git clone and git commit and git push. Why does this go get command not work?

temp % go get github.com/MYCOMPANY/myproject
go get: module github.com/MYCOMPANY/myproject: git ls-remote -q origin in /Users/someuser/go/pkg/mod/cache/vcs/1872293eea4df8de643499713e2d8621a72624bb2514a7a88c1182d1869ef891: exit status 128:
    ssh: Could not resolve hostname github.com:MYCOMPANY: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
    fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
    
    Please make sure you have the correct access rights
    and the repository exists.

    Does this answer your question? [What's the proper way to "go get" a private repository?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27500861/whats-the-proper-way-to-go-get-a-private-repository) – Maneesh Babu M Jan 03 '22 at 04:58

    Check the GOPRIVATE variable (`GOPRIVATE=github.com/MYCOMPANY/*`) and the git/config for: ```bash [url "git@github.com:"] insteadOf = https://github.com/ ``` The changes are required when working with private repos. – elulcao Jan 03 '22 at 14:18

This is what works for me, based on @elulcao

go env -w GOPRIVATE=github.com/COMPANYNAME
git config --global --add url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

Then I can do

go mod download

In the projects git folder or go get

'go get' by default does not support private repositories. It only supports public repos.

If you want to get private repos please refer to this link
