Hello rob, here's what I do.
For every dir in ~/go/src run go mod init with the dir name.
e.g.:
cd ~/go/src/foo
go mod init foo
cd ~/go/src/bar
go mod init bar
...
If package foo depends on libfoo (also in ~/go/src) you can add a replace
line in foo's go.mod
e.g.
echo "replace libfoo => ../libfoo" >> ~/go/src/foo/go.mod
Then foo can import libfoo with:
import "libfoo"
Before building for the first time run "go get" to download all
dependencies and update the go.mod file.
After that, you won't need GOPATH or having everything in ~/go anymore.
Hope that helps.
