GoLand import go module public repo fails with invalid version

Question

I want to import a module I have created into another project. The source code is in GitHub, in a public repo, but I get the following error when trying to import in GoLand:

go: finding module for package github.com/ambye85/gophercises/link
go: downloading github.com/ambye85/gophercises/link v0.0.0-20200323082040-d484a876f7e8
go: downloading github.com/ambye85/gophercises v0.0.0-20200323082040-d484a876f7e8

    server response:

        fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled

All the searching I have done seems to indicate that this is caused by trying to access a private repo. That is not the case here.

Does anyone know what the cause and fix is?

Facing the same issue. was your error resolved? If yes, what did you do for it? – Freestyle

It was an access issue to a private repository. – Freestyle

Answer 1

Can be fixed using:

$ git config --global --add url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

This problem may occur when you’re trying to authenticate with https but you have 2FA enabled. This can be solved by forcing git to use ssh for all interactions.

• Adding a new SSH key to your GitHub account

Even with public repos? – Angele
