We use github enterprise server over a VPN.

If I type:

go get privateserver.com/path/to/myproject.git

I get this result: 

package privateserver.com/path/to/myproject.git: cannot download, privateserver.com/path/to/myproject uses insecure protocol

Or removing the .git suffix I get:

package privateserver.com/path/to/myproject: unrecognized import path "privateserver.com/path/to/myproject" (parse https://privateserver.com/path/to/myproject?go-get=1: no go-import meta tags ())

It seems there are many similar questions on google searches but have found no answers that actually work.

What I really want to end up with is automation of docker builds. Inside my docker file I require a go get. But I can't store the credentials inside the docker file.

Note: --insecure doesn't work. See bottom of question.

Just tried go get with -insecure -v options. I get the following output:

matthewh@xen:~/go/src/$ go get -insecure -v privateserver.com/path/to/myproject.git
# cd .; git ls-remote git://privateserver.com/path/to/myproject
fatal: remote error: 
  GitHub private mode is enabled. Git protocol is disabled. Use authenticated http or ssh access instead.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

The get command supports using http by using the -insecure flag as shown below:

go get -insecure privateserver.com/path/to/myproject.git

The default is secure HTTPS in order to prevent man in the middle attacks as described in Git Issue.

  • If I do that, I get a "repository does not exist error. – hookenz Jan 24 '18 at 03:29
  • Just looked at your profile. Are you Milton Baxter? – hookenz Jan 24 '18 at 03:29
  • Indeed I am. Are you @Matt somebody?. Have you tried without the .git suffix. I tried a little test run here with just `/myproject` – miltonb Jan 24 '18 at 03:39

    haha. Milton, here's a hint. Peter is not my dad and Malaysia was fun. Must catch up some time. The git suffix seems to be required on private github servers. – hookenz Jan 24 '18 at 03:43
