I’ve been trying to use private repos as Hugo Modules but failed. I think the first step I need to figure out is to write the proper hugo mod get path which includes username/password or token Then use its base as proxy setting and eventually HUGO_MODULE_PROXY on my CI and maybe change the module …

I know surprisingly little about this, but if all you get via Google search like “go modules private repo” should be relevant, e.g.: [image] Go Modules with Private Git Repositories How to configure Go Modules to work with private Git Repositories, with examples for both local development…

Thanks, found some stuff but not this one. Will read.

Yes so most of what I had previously found was about editing your git config to use https which is fine for my local machine, but not sure how Netlify and other CI will handle… I will start by setting this up on local, and then worry about the CI. Thanks!

I think the main point here is, and this is especially true with Netlify etc., is to somehow get the default Git protocol to be SSH: [image] Modular Finance Produkter för Bank & Finans och Noterade bolag

I’ve been able to make it work easy on local with having git config use git@github.com instead of https://github.com Now on with Netlify. Having them use ssh instead of https on a given site is a battle I’d rather avoid. I was hoping to achieve this by adding a HUGO_MODULE_PROXY env var which wou…

Did someone managed to share a private content module between two Hugo sites since?

So, I have this in my Git config: url.ssh://git@github.com.insteadof=https://github.com This works seamlessly for me on my … MacBook. I have little (or: none) experience with this on Netlify etc., but I assume that will work there, too, assuming the Netlify git user has access to the repos in ques…

An approach (not tested by me) which would maybe be better suited for CI builds (Netlify etc.) would be: git config --global url."https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}:x-oauth-basic@github.com/".insteadOf "https://github.com/" Ref. https://gist.github.com/dmitshur/6927554
