golang import github private repo

Completely confused.

go 1.13.5 using modules

I am trying to import a private repo from github. Searching is increasing the confusion not reducing it. I have tried a number of approaches including the keychain helper but I am going nowhere fast.

SSH is enabled and when tested establishes a connection successfully

My global gitconfig in C:/Users/me :

[user]
    name = xxxxxxx
    email = [email protected]
[core]
    autocrlf = input
[alias]
    st = status
[url "ssh://[email protected]/"]
    insteadOf = https://github.com/

go get github.com/user/repo@master produces

go: finding github.com master
go: finding github.com/user master
go: finding github.com/user/repo master
go: finding github.com/user/repo master
go: downloading github.com/user/repo v0.0.0-20191211180807-ee1bcd94c84f
verifying github.com/user/[email protected]: 
github.com/user/[email protected]: reading 
https://sum.golang.org/lookup/github.com/!user/[email protected]    
ee1bcd94c84f:410 Gone

The link yields :

not found: github.com/user/[email protected]: invalid version: git 
fetch -f origin refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* refs/tags/*:refs/tags/* in/tmp/gopath/pkg/mod/cache/vcs/9524fc42cfd4910346f55f112665f9a51df7c4b31085d50baa5e01453e55ca58: 
exit status 128:
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled

Doesn't matter what I do I get this "cannot read Username" but I thought it should be using SSH not HTTPS

What's going on??

Not feeling the love for Modules making my life easier so far...

After more searching and much experimentation, the issue is with the checksum failing on download of a private repo as by definition there is no checksum defined.

This was buried within a chain of responses on Github. There is an open issue to improve the documentation. Good idea.

This worked for me:

GONOSUMDB=github.com/username/* 
go get github.com/username/repo
