[Phani Rithvij]

pkger is trying to fetch private repo for some reason even though I am in the diectory with go.mod file and it worked a few mins ago.

I've even tried all the solutions mentioned at stackoverflow but pkger seems to ignore just about everything.

I'm trying to do a pkger -o server and the here.cache keeps on fecthing the repo even though I am currenly in the directory with go.mod file with github.com/phanirithvij/btp/central as the module

Seems like the issue is because there are no go files the top level directory containing go.mod file.
Creating one solved it.
