How is the first application developer to know this git (not go) feature exists in the first place? The application developer is looking to use `go get`, and is frustrated that `go get` only downloads via https, asking them for a username and password combo every time. `go get` has no documentation to make it use git URLs. Only when the application developer looks online for a solution to this do they find some StackOverflow post detailing this workaround. Or other workarounds, like the insecure option of telling git to save your https credentials. Sure, a knowledgeable application developer can put whatever quirks their build system needs in their documentation; but a developer ignorant of these workarounds shouldn't have to go beyond `go get`'s documentation in the first place. |
