dependencies from private repository are not fetching even after using go mod tidy and go get "github.com/name/custom_repo"

The issue was that I forked dependency repositories for version lock and pushed it into a private repository (github.com/shubhamgholave/packages /<multiple packages>). Then created a go.mod with same github link as given above (github.com/shubhamgholave/packages).

In main.go import section I said import "github.com/shubhamgholave/packages/slacker or slack(as all the required dependencies are inside packages like slacker, slack, websocket). But it keeps giving me errors when I try to go get github.com/shubhamgholave/packages or go get github.com/shubhamgholave/package/slacker or go mod tidy.

I tried using go mod tidy and go mod edit -replace="original/repo=custom_preivate_repo@version" and also go get github.com/shubhamgholave/packages/slacker and same command until packages.

If for version lock, you can rely on the Go tool chain which will do it for you. See Checksum database.

If you want to ensure that all files used for a build are stored in a single file tree, you should use Vendoring instead.

Your approach does work because the modules have their own go.mod file, which defines the import path of the modules. Placing a go.mod file in the root directory does not change this fact.
