An alternative to using [email protected] is to generate a personal access token on your GitHub account, grant it repo access, and then use the following instead:
git config --global url."https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}:[email protected]/".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
That should still work with go get -u, and also works with Docker builds (my particular use case, and how I came across your gist).
