You can add the local packages using replace in go 1.11<= go to your go.mod and use "replace" keyword, as below, (you do not need to create a github repo, just add the lines like this)

module github.com/yourAccount/yourModule

go 1.15

require (
    github.com/cosmtrek/air v1.21.2 // indirect
    github.com/creack/pty v1.1.11 // indirect
    github.com/fatih/color v1.9.0 // indirect
    github.com/imdario/mergo v0.3.11 // indirect
    github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter v1.3.0
    github.com/mattn/go-colorable v0.1.7 // indirect
    github.com/pelletier/go-toml v1.8.0 // indirect
    go.uber.org/zap v1.15.0
    golang.org/x/sys v0.0.0-20200831180312-196b9ba8737a // indirect
)

replace (
    github.com/yourAccount/yourModule/localFolder =>"./yourModule/localFolder"
    github.com/yourAccount/yourModule/localFolder =>"./yourModule/localFolder"
)

Then in your main.go =>

import (
    alog "github.com/yourAccount/yourModule/localFolder"
    slog "github.com/yourAccount/yourModule/localFolder"
)
