Following instruction from the thrift golang home page: trying to run the go get thrift package: go get git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift/... getting following error:
```
# cd .; git clone https://git.apache.org/thrift.git godep/src/git.apache.org/thrift.git
Cloning into
'godep/src/git.apache.org/thrift.git'...
fatal: repository 'https://git.apache.org/thrift.git/' not found
package git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift/...: exit status 128
```
There was a vote to use the Github repos as primary repo, mainly to ease maintenance and contribution. During that process, the old repo has been dropped (intentionally). Unfortunately a few dependencies were overlooked, such as the one you mentioned, plus good communication was not really on our side.
All the dirty details are in THRIFT-4542
Our PMC Chair also sent out some more words on that issue a few hours ago.
TL;DR: We're in the process of fixing this. Sorry for any inconveniences.

It looks like Apache moved thrift to GitHub (but did not update their docs). See their website here: https://git.apache.org/thrift.git That thing will return a 404 on your browser too. Instead now they are hosted here https://github.com/apache/thrift
However, if you simply try:
go get github.com/apache/thrift
Go will complain that there are no .go files there.
Instead try:
go get github.com/apache/thrift/lib/go/thrift
That will pull and compile (tried on go1.10.1, windows/amd64), but I did not try to write a thrift program to verify everything works fine. You might also need to update your imports accordingly to use the github package.
