Previously, we were caching private Go modules' information, even when `cachePrivatePackages=false`. This leads to the module path, versions, and possibly the `go` directive being cached unintentionally. Instead of doing so, we should make sure that we're intentionally caching packages. To do this, we can use a mix of the `GOPRIVATE`/`GONOPROXY` to determine which packages shouldn't be fetched in the public Go proxy, given they're private, following how the Go toolchain itself does this. When interacting with the public Go proxy, we treat these packages as public (as the public Go proxy has no means to authenticate) and so anything outside of this should be treated as private. When `GOPROXY` contains `direct`, we only treat a package as public only when the public proxy is in the list too, the way Go's own default is written. This is used to imply that `direct` is the fallback for whatever the public proxy doesn't have. When thre is no Go proxy set, `GOPROXY=direct` means everything comes from source, which tells us nothing about who is allowed to read it. This doesn't catch everything: with the default `GOPROXY`, a private package the public proxy doesn't have falls through to `direct` and is still cached by Renovate, unless `GOPRIVATE` says otherwise. We only learn that no proxy served it after we've fetched it, which is after `cacheable` is determined. When using Renovate with a private Go proxy mirror, such as Artifactory, this will result in no cached packages until `cachePrivatePackages: true` is set. This is a similar change to #45348.

What is the Mend Renovate CLI?
Renovate is an automated dependency update tool. It helps to update dependencies in your code without needing to do it manually. When Renovate runs on your repo, it looks for references to dependencies (both public and private) and, if there are newer versions available, Renovate can create pull requests to update your versions automatically.
Features
- Delivers update PRs directly to your repo
- Relevant package files are discovered automatically
- Pull Requests automatically generated in your repo
- Provides useful information to help you decide which updates to accept (age, adoption, pass rates, merge confidence)
- Highly configurable and flexible to fit in with your needs and repository standards
- Largest collection of languages and platforms (listed below)
- Connects with private repositories and package registries
Languages
Renovate can provide updates for most popular languages, platforms, and registries including: npm, Java, Python, .NET, Scala, Ruby, Go, Docker and more. Supports over 90 different package managers.
Platforms
Renovate updates code repositories on the following platforms: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, AWS Code Commit (experimental), Gitea, Forgejo, Gerrit (experimental), SCM-Manager (experimental)
Ways to run Renovate
The most effective way to run Renovate is to use an automated job scheduling system that regularly runs Renovate on all enabled repositories and responds with priority to user activity. Mend offers cloud-hosted and self-hosted solutions. See the options below.
Mend Renovate Community (Cloud-Hosted)

Hosted by Mend.io. No setup is needed. Community plan available (Free)
- GitHub Cloud: Install the Renovate Cloud-Hosted App on your GitHub org, then select the repos to enable
- Bitbucket Cloud: Add the Mend App to your Workspace, then add the Mend Renovate user to the projects you want to enable
Mend Renovate Community (Self-hosted)
Supports: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Data Center

- Mend Renovate Enterprise (Paid plan)
Other ways to run Renovate
If you can’t use a pre-built job scheduling system, or want to build your own, the following options are available:
Run Renovate on your Pipeline
Mend provides a GitHub Action or a GitLab Runner to help you run Renovate as a CI pipeline job.
- GitHub Action: renovatebot/github-action.
- GitLab Runner: Renovate Runner project
- AzureDevOps action: Renovate Me extension
Note: This extension is created and maintained personally by a Renovate developer/user. Support requests for the extension will not be answered directly in the main Renovate repository. - Custom pipeline: You can create a custom pipeline with a yml definition that triggers npx renovate. More details on how to configure the pipeline.
Run Renovate CLI
There are several ways to run the Renovate CLI directly. See docs: Running Renovate for all options.
Supports: all platforms
For additional community-maintained options, see the Community Tools page.
