1) is go get tied to github?
2) Is it possible, when importing, not to specify a link to the github project, but to put this module into the system and import it by name, because tomorrow this repository may not exist.?

1) Not tied. go get successfully pulls packages from both gitlab and bitbucket, and even from your local git repo, if configured.
2) You can, but it's better then to put this package in the vendor folder inside your project. From there it will be automatically imported.
In general, it's better to use go modules: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#quick-start
