Description

Description:
Add parameters to setup-go to support configuring urls/credentials to access private modules via GOPROXY or github sourced urls.

Justification:
Configuring GO builds to utilize private modules requires additional environment setup and credentials. Documentation is light and there is no official documented path to achieve this. See: community documentation.

Parameters to set:

  • Env variables: GOPROXY
  • input token for authentication to git configuration or using credential manager

Research direction

The issue names the setup-go action but no files or tests; start by reading its current input and environment handling, then trace how Go module access is configured. Done means supporting GOPROXY configuration and token-based authentication for private or GitHub-sourced modules, with an official documented usage path.
