How to set go module path of private repository

Question

I want to set my go module path to example.com/myrepo instead of github.com/myusername/myrepo such that I am able to import in inside another repository.

for example, if my go.mod looks like this

module example.com/myrepo

go 1.13

how will I make go get example.com/myrepo work?

I am getting the following on go get example.com/myrepo

unrecognized import path "example.com/myrepo" (parse https://example.com/myrepo?go-get=1: no go-import meta tags ())

Given I am the owner of example.com how can I do this?

Try to go in the parent folder and type "go mod init". This will create go.mod and go.sum file — Paul Schimmer, May 11 '20 at 16:18
@Adrian I can create a repo with module name `mydomain.com/myrepo`, but unable to do `go get mydomain.com/myrepo` — Amit Basuri, May 11 '20 at 16:45
@AmitBasuri: have you setup the infrastructure to allow fetching modules from `mydomain.com`? — JimB, May 11 '20 at 16:58

it is called vanity import paths.

In addition to the common hosting sites (GitHub, Bitbucket, etc) and custom VCS URLs (.git, .hg, etc) known to the go command, this mechanism can be used to point a custom URL to any of the services.
