Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure what exactly what you mean.
In my example it's not that I need to `go get` anything for my locally
stored packages (so I don't need to get `github.com/joe/b`). Rather, I need
`go get` for other packages. But it (`go get`) fails on the local stored
packages (`github.com/joe/b` in the example), it doesn't fetch the other
packages either. Does it make sense ?
Would you mind clarifying ?
Btw, I tried `go mod tidy` in the `~/work/a` directory, in the example I
created and I get:
```
$ go mod tidy
go: finding module for package github.com/joe/b
github.com/joe/a imports
github.com/joe/b: cannot find module providing package
github.com/joe/b: module github.com/joe/b: git ls-remote -q origin in
/home/janpf/src/go/pkg/mod/cache/vcs/ec7e851af7fd4aeb2a38ed2f81b738f5af4402954d5c2f4c363f5fb9f1b4583c:
exit status 128:
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal
prompts disabled
Confirm the import path was entered correctly.

for additional information.
```
In my case let's assume I modify my program `~/work/a/main.go` to use an
external library:
```
$ cat ~/work/a/main.go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/joe/b"
"github.com/janpfeifer/gonb/gonbui"
)
func main() {
fmt.Printf("Hello from joe/a!\n")
b.Message()
fmt.Printf("IsNotebook: %v\n", gonbui.IsNotebook)
}
```
Now I want `go get` to fetch me the `gonbui` package:
```
$ go get
github.com/joe/a imports
github.com/joe/b: cannot find module providing package
github.com/joe/b
```
It fails, and hence my program doesn't run. Same with `go mod tidy`, which
also fails.
Any ideas ?
