-  The <code>go get -insecure</code> flag is deprecated and will be removed
-  in a future version. The <code>GOINSECURE</code> environment variable is
-  usually a better alternative, since it provides control over which modules
-  may be retrieved using an insecure scheme. It should be noted that the
-  <code>-insecure</code> flag also turns the module checksum validation off.
-  <code>GOINSECURE</code>does not do that, use <code>GONOSUMDB</code>.
+  The <code>go</code> <code>get</code> <code>-insecure</code> flag is

+  environment variable should be used instead, since it provides control
