Method 2 installation with go fails

[bound-variable]

Running go get -u github.com/shenwei356/brename/ fails with:

go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.

But it is there:

Try this:

 # --------------- the development version --------------

 git clone https://github.com/shenwei356/brename
 cd brename/
 go build

 # The executable binary file is located in:
 #   ./brename
 # You can also move it to anywhere in the $PATH
 mkdir -p $HOME/bin
 cp ./brename $HOME/bin/

Dear @shenwei356, Go team recommends using go install instead of go get, but…

$ go version

go version go1.23.6 windows/amd64

$ go install -ldflags="-s -w" github.com/shenwei356/brename@latest

My other repos don't have this problem, such as https://goproxy.cn/github.com/shenwei356/rush/@v/list .

Something wrong with the meta information. It's empty here: https://goproxy.cn/github.com/shenwei356/brename/v2/@v/list

However, my another tool with version 2+ works fine:
