It's not quite what you're after, but FWIW the gohack command ( github.com/rogpeppe/gohack) knows enough to download arbitrary Go modules including the VCS checkout. You might find it useful, I guess.
For example: % gohack get -vcs golang.org/x/mod creating golang.org/x/mod@v0.16.0 golang.org/x/mod => /home/rogpeppe/gohack/golang.org/x/mod % cd /home/rogpeppe/gohack/golang.org/x/mod % git log -1 commit 766dc5df63e3e3e5cd6b1682f522a01c99723beb (HEAD, tag: v0.16.0) Author: Sam Thanawalla <samthanawa...@google.com> Date: Fri Feb 2 20:14:19 2024 +0000 ... etc Now that workspaces are a thing, it might be nice for it to add it to the current go.work file rather than to go.mod, I guess.
