What did you do?

Trying to go get a private Gitlab Repo. (replaced group name with COMPANY)

go get -v gitlab.com/COMPANY/services/redirecturl
get "gitlab.com/COMPANY/services/redirecturl": found meta tag get.metaImport{Prefix:"gitlab.com/COMPANY/services", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://gitlab.com/COMPANY/services.git"} at //gitlab.com/COMPANY/services/redirecturl?go-get=1
get "gitlab.com/COMPANY/services/redirecturl": verifying non-authoritative meta tag
gitlab.com/COMPANY/services (download)
package gitlab.com/COMPANY/services/redirecturl: /Users/phumb/go/src/gitlab.com/COMPANY/services exists but /Users/phumb/go/src/gitlab.com/COMPANY/services/.git does not - stale checkout?

What did you expect to see?

I hoped go get would just work.

What did you see instead?

It tries to pull company/services.git but the repository is at company/services/redirecturl.git

Solved it by setting up .netrc
