When attempting to install through go:

    go install github.com/karol-broda/snitch@latest

I get this error message:

    go: github.com/karol-broda/snitch@latest: version constraints conflict:
     github.com/karol-broda/snitch@v0.1.8: parsing go.mod:
     module declares its path as: snitch
             but was required as: github.com/karol-broda/snitch

They declared their module with just their package name without a URL, it got fixed a few hours ago.

I find it a bit interesting that Go even allows you to declare `module barename` in go.mod even though it loves breaking so many things if you do so. I sometimes try doing it for completely private projects but I always just declare some URL in the end, it's a weird anti-pattern in my opinion.
