The replace works. But somehow lately I'm facing issue with replace. In my go.mod file I wrote replace for the package referring it to local package using ../package name
But when I go do go mod tidy in that package, it brings back that package referring to the github.com in the require. I'm not sure what to do. Even tried the go mod edit -replace command too, but if I do go mod tidy it doesn't create a local reference with 00000.00, instead it refers to the original github.com pkg.
