The following question:

Q6. Which is the only valid import statement in Go?

  • ­
      import "github/gin-gonic/gin"
  • ­
      import "https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
  • ­
      import "../template"
  • ­
      import "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"

Import in GoLang

has 2 correct answers. Technically, the first one is also correct for a package named github (go mod init github). Inside this package there could be a subdirectory gin-gonic/gin. This could then be imported with the given import statement.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Go import rules to confirm that the first option could be valid with a suitable go.mod. Then decide on a fix: either adjust the question or add a note that it's ambiguous.
