It seems that you need to access GitHub api from golang. There are a plenty of libraries but I would recommend using go-github.

Here is how you can try doing that

package main

import (
    "context"

    "github.com/google/go-github/github"
)

func main() {

    var username string = "MayukhSobo"
    client := github.NewClient(nil)
    commits, response, err := client.Repositories.ListCommits(context.Background(), username, "Awesome-Snippets", nil)
    if err != nil && response.StatusCode != 200 {
        panic(err)
    }
    for _, commit := range commits {
        // commit.SHA
        // commit.Files
        // You can use the commit
    }

}

If you are trying to access the some other public repo, you need to pass the owner name in the username and change the repo name.

If you face access issues, it can be probably it is a private repo. You can also use the key pair to set up the access.
