Oh thanks a lot Carla Pfaff! I did not even know a v0.0.0-unpublished pseudo-version existed. It is not mentioned in the Go Modules Reference https://golang.org/ref/mod for whatever reason. This really takes the edge off.
I was also pointed at the replace by some people on StackOverflow and while I could swear that it did not work for me last week, when I create a fresh example project and use a replace it really deos seem to use my local changes, no matter what version is specified in the require statement. I am not sure how this all works, all I know is that Go modules are really really complicated, the most complicated thing about Go right now in my opinion. I loved Go because of its simplicity and while I really value the option to have reproducible builds - as this has been a pain point for me as well - this solution is way to complex for my taste. Maybe this complexity is inherent to the problem, maybe not, I do not know as I have not created a dependency tool like this myself. All I know is that it is really hard to use and makes creating Go code harder overall.
