I'm not entirely following what you are doing. But here are some comments. You have a directory $HOME/go, the contents of which look like what you would see under $GOPATH. If you are going to create a project under $HOME/go (whether GOPATH is defined or not), the suggested place to put it is in $HOME/go/src/urlShortener or perhaps $HOME/go/src/github.com/yourID/urlShortener. Having said that, using the same version of Go I am able to do the following without error:
unset GOPATH cd /tmp mkdir urlShortener cd urlShortener go mod init urlShortener go get github.com/fasthttp/router etc... Works for me.
