go - How to have shared utility functions in a github repo comprised of multiple apps?

Question

Suppose I have a private github repository (called company_repo) belonging to a company I work for consisting of 3 separate Go applications and I want to use utility functions from folder util (util is basically functioning like an internal package for apps 1 through 3). I did a go mod init inside the util directory. I've tried adding github.com/company_repo/util v0.0.1 into the require directive in go.mod for app1, but unfortunately I get fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

.
├── app2
├── app3
├── README.md
├── app1
└── util

1. Is this the right way to avoid sharing code between app1, app2, and app3? Basically trying to reuse database connection/logic code and some other common use cases between apps 1 thru 3 (e.g., fetching of common secrets).
2. How do I get apps 1 thru 3 to fetch the "util" module and associated functions for use in apps 1 thru 3?
