> Go doesn't specifically rely on GitHub, but it can pull in dependencies with a simplified URL that points to a git repository hosted on GitHub. This is possible because GitHub renders an HTML meta tag on project pages that the go tool can reference to fetch information about the repository.

Is there somewhere I can read more about this tag? Opened up the source of one of my repos and I couldn't find it.

Thank you! I didn't think to check the Go docs.
