How do I set git remote origin correctly to work with go get -u?

[foo bar]

Hi!

When working with GitHub repos I would like to set the git remote origin to "g...@github.com:user/repo.git" instead of "https://github.com/user/repo", but when using go get -u, I get the following error:

> $ go get -u github.com/mewmew/tmx/...
> $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mewmew/tmx
> $ git remote rm origin
> $ git remote add origin g...@github.com:mewmew/tmx.git
> $ go get -u github.com/mewmew/tmx/...
> package github.com/mewmew/tmx: github.com/mewmew/tmx is a custom import path for https://github.com/mewmew/tmx, but /tmp/go/src/github.com/mewmew/tmx is checked out from g...@github.com:mewmew/tmx.git

How may I configure the local git repo to work with both "git@..." origins and go get -u?

Cheers /u

git pull -u ...

At best the error printed here is uninformative (the same error is
printed when an actual custom import is defined as when there is no
specified custom import), and at worst it's bad behaviour; go get should
be able to tell when there was a custom import defined and only make
this check then.

I seem to be unable to get _both_ go get -u and git push/pull to work simultaneously. Running "git pull -u origin master" results in the same error for subsequent calls to "go get -u"

there are 2 ways to work around this.
a) the practical one.
$ go get -u -f ...

this will ignore the vanity import-paths.
use with care and consideration.

b) the more involved one.
$ git remote rename origin origin-rw
$ git remote add origin git://github.com/mewmew/tmx

(and then push to the origin-rw, go-get will pull/fetch from origin.)

c) bonus. (not tested)
$ git remote add origin ssh://mew...@github.com/tmx.git

You can configure a separated url for git push:

# ~/.gitconfig
[url "g...@github.com/"]
    pushInsteadOf = https://github.com/

ah! I didn't know you could restrict to just push (I had everything over there:
https://github.com/sbinet/dot-config/blob/master/git/gitconfig#L23
and restrained from using it too much as that could either break 'go
get' or the 'github fork/clone/push model'...)
