git - How to use Go with a private GitLab repo

Question

GitLab is a free, open-source way to host private .git repositories but it does not seem to work with Go. When you create a project it generates a URL of the form:

git@1.2.3.4:private-developers/project.git

where:

• 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of the gitlab server
• private-developers is a user group which has access to the private repo

Golang 1.2.1 doesn't seem to understand this syntax.

go get git@1.2.3.4:private-developers/project.git

results in:

package git@23.251.148.129/project.git: unrecognized import path "git@1.2.3.4/project.git"

Is there a way to get this to work?
