Well, that was going to be my next question (how do I install a module from
a local git repo or directory).
If I understand you correctly go modules require a remote git repo, even if
they are used only one machine. That should be made clear in the docs.
Modules get cached locally in $GOPATH/pkg/mod, but in my module directory
of I do
go install lib/conf.reader.go
it completes without errors, but I don't get a binary or source code file
anywhere under $GOPATH/pkg/mod (or anywhere else I can see).
Does go install work differently with modules?
