Local development

Your website´s config.toml file should look something like this whilst developing the module locally. The replaced path only seems to work when it´s relative.

go 1.16

// For local testing
replace github.com/gotpop/gotscss => ../gotscss

require github.com/gotpop/gotscss v0.0.1 // indirect

Hints and tips

Your website must itself be declared a Hugo module.
Go modules are updated via the use of Git tags. Push the tags to update changes to the module in your project.
Go modules inside the website are in memory and will not be rendered to the file system.
Deleting the themes folder from the root can create errors even if you are not using one.
If you wish to view the files within the project you can use hugo mod vender this will render the files to a directory called _vender in the website´s project root.
Ensure correct hugo version is specified in the netlify.toml config file in the project root.

Custom menus offer more flexibility

HasMenu doesn't work when you set menus in menu.json for this reason I think it's a good idea to use fully custom menus.
