Golang and private gitlab repos and 410 Gone

I've been following a microservices with golang tutorial recently, and needed to refer to one project from another.

After getting numerous errors with `go get` and much searching for answers, I stumbled across this solution.

In Gitlab add a personal access token.

In your ~/.netrc file add:

machine gitlab.com
  login {{personal_access_token_name}}
  password {{personal_access_token}}

Replacing the prompts with the actual values.

In your .bashrc add

export GOPRIVATE="gitlab.com/{{path_to_project}}"

This is working for me, a similar approach may well work with bitbucket or codebasehq.
