Provide a tutorial on how to create/publish private packages

[psankar]

I have project with the following structure.

root
|
|--- mylib
|         | --- mylib.go
|         | --- go.mod
|--- svc1
|       | --- go.mod
|       | --- cmd
|                 | ---- svc1.go
|--- svc2
|       | --- go.mod
|       | --- cmd
|                 | ---- svc2.go

Here mylib.go/mod is a golang module that is used from svc1.go and svc2.go. Now for some reasons, I do not want to expose these files in a git/github url that is publicly accessible. I keep them in my laptop and a non-standard version control system.

Now in my dev laptop, I checkout the sources and want to build svc1.go and svc2.go (which have their individual go.mod files) which I want to import. Now there is an athens server running in my laptop. Now, I do not understand how to publish my mylib.go/mod to this athens server so that I can use it for building svc1/2.

All the demo videos, tutorials talk about athens downloading things from a publicly accesible url but I am not able to find out how to create/publish private modules and use them.
