Hey @12307, @gensmusic and @tomjamescn - did the explanation in https://github.com/gomods/athens/issues/1083#issuecomment-466727229 make sense?

If you have a specific use case that the pull-from-VCS mechanism from https://github.com/gomods/athens/issues/1083#issuecomment-466727229 doesn't solve, please write it in here so we can be aware and consider making changes to that or adding functionality.

Thanks all! 😀

@12307 not a problem 😁

I'll close this issue but if you're able to share the solution, I'd love to hear it! Either write it in here or come say hi to us in the Gophers Slack #athens channel

@tomjamescn I don't know what the specific solution is obviously, but maybe I can help.

Athens doesn't have a "publish" feature (yet, but we'll consider it if you have a concrete use case!) because it automatically pulls from the private repository the first time you run a go get. In other words, it pulls code on-demand from the private repo. So, if you want to "publish" a module, you can run go get for that module path and it will be stored in Athens storage forever. After https://github.com/gomods/athens/issues/1068, you would not have to run go get (but still could if you wanted to) in order to notify Athens to immediately go download the code.
