go get results in ‘terminal prompts disabled’ error for github private repo

I found this extremely helpful, and it solved my problem. This command will allow your 2FA to do its thing (and save you the trouble of entering your username and password):

For Github:

git config --global --add url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

For Gitlab:

git config --global --add url."git@gitlab.com:".insteadOf "https://gitlab.com/"

If you’re not using 2FA, you can still use SSH and this will work.

Resulting .gitconfig will be like:

[url "git@github.com:"]
    insteadOf = https://github.com/
