That looks like a typo: "github" instead of "github.com"
You definitely don't need a second go.mod, nor do you need any "replace"
statements. The following works (literally "github.com/me/mylib" is fine
too)
-- mylib/go.mod --
module github.com/me/mylib
go 1.18
-- mylib/mylib.go --
package mylib
import "fmt"
func Flurble() {
fmt.Println("Flurble")
}
-- mylib/tester/tester.go --
package main
import (
"github.com/me/mylib"
)
func main() {
mylib.Flurble()
}
$ cd tester/
$ go run .
Flurble
$
