What did you do?
What did you expect to see?
What did you see instead?
go get does not understand socks5h in HTTPS_PROXY, even though it understands socks5.
For example, to test using the tor proxy:
$ HTTPS_PROXY=socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 go get -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports
Fetching https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports?go-get=1
https fetch failed: Get https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports?go-get=1: proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp: lookup socks5h: No address associated with hostname
package golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports: unrecognized import path "golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports" (https fetch: Get https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports?go-get=1: proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp: lookup socks5h: No address associated with hostname)
Other tools that understand HTTPS_PROXY also understand socks5h (resolve hostname through the proxy, not locally). curl and yum, for example.
