How to publish a Go package/module without publishing a git repo?

Question

I want to publish a collection of go packages as 'my.domain.tld/something'

Can I do it without running a git server on my domain? For example, can I just publish zip files and metadata at the domain name and have the go tools work with it?

I can't find documentation about how to do it.

These are known as vanity import paths. You can setup my.domain.tld/something to serve an HTML webpage with a go-import meta tag which points to the location the code is hosted.

The format is: <meta name="go-import" content="import-prefix vcs repo-root">

For example, you could instruct Go to fetch the code from a Github repository using something like

<meta name="go-import" content="my.domain.tld/something git github.com/myusername/myproject">
