You either have to use the "replace" directive in go.mod, or: Do not work on the fork. Do your work on a plain _clone_ of the repo (which works without "replace"ing dependencies). To create a Github PR: git push to your fork (add it as an additional git remote) and create the PR. The "fork" is just a vehicle for a Github PR and nothing you do work on (or try to build).
