'How to install a go library from github without public key?
I want to install the gqrcode project and get from that project the following installation instructions:
go get -u github.com/KangSpace/gqrcode
When performing this, I first got:
...
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled
...
After performing
git config --global --add url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
I get:
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
package github.com/KangSpace/gqrcode: exit status 1
In other languages like python I can clone the library first (git clone ....) and afterwards install it.
How can I perform something similar in go?

If it stills uses an HTTPS URL, despite your global git config url."[email protected]:".insteadOf directive, you might need and try using a PAT (personal access token) instead.
As in this example, try
git config --global url."https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}:[email protected]/".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
(Assuming you have access to the repository)
Howver, considering https://github.com/gqrcode itself is 404, the github.com/gqrcode/xxx imports declared in github.com/KangSpace/gqrcode might need to be updated first.
