I'm searching for the way to get $ go get
work with private repository, after many google try.
The first try:
$ go get -v gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go
Fetching https://gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go?go-get=1
https fetch failed.
Fetching http://gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go?go-get=1
Parsing meta tags from http://gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go?go-get=1 (status code 200)
import "gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go": parse http://gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go?go-get=1: no go-import meta tags
package gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go: unrecognized import path "gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go
Yep, it did not see the meta tags because I could not know how to provide login information.
The second try:
Follow https://gist.github.com/shurcooL/6927554. Add config to .gitconfig.
[url "ssh://git@gitlab.com/"]
insteadOf = https://gitlab.com/
$ go get -v gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go --> not work
$ go get -v gitlab.com/secmask/awserver-go.git --> work but I got src/gitlab.com/secmask/awserer-go.git
Yes it work but with .git
extension with my project name, I can rename it to original but do it everytime $ go get
is not so good, is there an otherway?
You have one thing to configure. The example is based on GitHub but this shouldn't change the process:
$ git config --global url.git@github.com:.insteadOf https://github.com/
$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[url "git@github.com:"]
insteadOf = https://github.com/
$ go get github.com/private/repo
That looks like the GitLab issue 5769.
In GitLab, since the repositories always end in
.git
, I must specify.git
at the end of the repository name to make it work, for example:import "example.org/myuser/mygorepo.git"
And:
$ go get example.org/myuser/mygorepo.git
Looks like GitHub solves this by appending
".git"
.
It is supposed to be resolved in “Added support for Go's repository retrieval. #5958”, provided the right meta tags are in place.
Although there is still an issue for Go itself: “cmd/go
: go get cannot discover meta tag in HTML5 documents”.
The proper way is to manually put the repository in the right place. Once the repository is there, you can use go get -u
to update the package and go install
to install it. A package named
github.com/secmask/awserver-go
goes into
$GOPATH/src/github.com/secmask/awserver-go
The commands you type are:
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/secmask
git clone git@github.com:secmask/awserver-go.git
I have created a user specific ssh-config, so my user automatically logs in with the correct credentials and key.
First I needed to generate an key-pair
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "my@email.here"
and saved it to e.g ~/.ssh/id_my_domain
. Note that this is also the keypair (private and public) I've connected to my Github account, so mine is stored in~/.ssh/id_github_com
.
I have then created (or altered) a file called ~/.ssh/config
with an entry:
Host github.com
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_github_com
On another server, the "ssh-url" is admin@domain.com:username/private-repo.git
and the entry for this server would have been:
Host domain.com
HostName domain.com
User admin
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_domain_com
Just to clarify that you need ensure that the User
, Host
and HostName
is set correctly.
Now I can just browse into the go path and then go get <package>
, e.g go get main
where the file main/main.go
includes the package (from last example above) domain.com:username/private-repo.git
.
I had a problem with go get
using private repository on gitlab from our company. I lost a few minutes trying to find a solution. And I did find this one:
You need to get a private token at:
https://gitlab.mycompany.com/profile/account
Configure you git to add extra header with your private token:
$ git config --global http.extraheader "PRIVATE-TOKEN: YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN
Configure your git to convert requests from ssh to http:
$ git config --global url."git@gitlab.mycompany.com:".insteadOf "https://gitlab.mycompany.com/"
Finally you can use your go get
normally:
$ go get gitlab.com/company/private_repo
Generate a github oauth token here and export your github token as an environment variable:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=123
Set git config to use the basic auth url:
git config --global url."https://$GITHUB_TOKEN:x-oauth-basic@github.com/".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
Now you can go get
your private repo.
If you've already got git using SSH, this answer by Ammar Bandukwala is a simple workaround:
$ go get
uses git
internally. The following one liners will make git
and consequently $ go get
clone your package via SSH.
Github:
$ git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
BitBucket:
$ git config --global url."git@bitbucket.org:".insteadOf "https://bitbucket.org/"
