Make "go get" use ssh instead of https

Posted — Oct 18, 2019

To make go get github.com/user/repo use ssh instead of https run this line:

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

It will add a section to your ~/.gitconfig file use ssh instead of https when you run go get ..., allowing you to use your ssh key to authenticate to e.g. Github and access private repos.
