How to fork a go library (my way)

Thanh Phu on September 1, 2020

Git fork
Go mod init if not yet a module
Update path to new module github.com/someone/library -> github.com/you/library. This is because the module will continue to look for dependencies in the old path
Bump version with a tag (v1.0.0 -> v1.0.1)
Push the tag to Git
Go mod tidy in any project using the go library
