go get can't get a module from a private repo on github

I have a (private) github repo with a Go module. I've added the tag v0.1 and github shows that tag. I have set go env -w GOPRIVATE=github.com/dwschulze/key-value-mod and my ~/.gitconfig has [url "[email protected]:"] insteadOf = https://github.com/

But go get can't retrieve my module:

$ go get github.com/dwschulze/key-value-mod
go: github.com/dwschulze/key-value-mod upgrade => v0.0.0-20210907155619-9116b97467d6
go get: github.com/dwschulze/[email protected]: parsing go.mod:
        module declares its path as: key-value-mod
                but was required as: github.com/dwschulze/key-value-mod

$ go get github.com/dwschulze/[email protected]
go get github.com/dwschulze/[email protected]: no matching versions for query "v0.1"

What problem is go get having?

Two things were causing this. I had to clear my module cache. The second is as Simon mentions above the module name has to be the repo URL where the module will be published.

I don't like the close coupling that go modules have with source code repositories, but that is reality.

Your go modules semver of v0.1 is incorrect for go modules consumption. It includes a major version, minor version - but is missing the patch number:

v1.4.0-beta.2

Note: the Pre-release Identifier suffix here (-beta.2) is optional.

See also publishing go modules docs:

Every required module in a go.mod has a semantic version, the minimum version of that dependency to use to build the module.

A semantic version has the form vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

So update your tag to v0.1.0 and it should work.

Based on the error, I don't think you have any issues with the private repo. Rather, it seems to me that your go.mod file declares the module as

module key-value-mod

...

while it should be

module github.com/dwschulze/key-value-mod

...
