"go get" a private bitbucket repo

[Chandra Sekar S]

When I try to "go get" a private bitbucket repo, I get a "401 UNAUTHORIZED".  Is there anyway to pass the basic auth detail for go get to pass on to git?

What I have done is manual mkdir of the appropriate directory and then
manual done a git clone. Once the local git repo is initialized, "go
get" etc can fetch updates if you teach git about your credentials
either via ssh keys or .netrc for https.

That sounds unnecessarily complicated especially when you have multiple libraries imported and you want to set up a new development machine.

Why doesn't go get prompt for authentication as it uses git underneath anyway or at least provide an option to pass credentials?

I want to setup a bunch of go get-able libraries internal to the organization. So far I've managed to set up git over HTTPS with nginx and that works fine.

However, I want to add authentication to the libraries. If there is an alternative method I can use to set up authentication without losing go get-ability, that'll work too.

"go get" is a wrapper to invoke the VCS of your repository, so,
if you "go get github.com/someuser/somepath" go get will call

git clone https://github.com/someuser/somepath
$GOPATH/src/github.com/someuser/somepath

This logic is in this file: http://golang.org/src/cmd/go/vcs.go

go get -x <<your import path>>

will print all the commands invoked by go-get.

Ah! Thanks for linking to the source code. It acts as a thin wrapper usually but for bitbucket, it makes an API call to determine the SCM type and this API call doesn't use .netrc. :(
