Getting started with Go
Until quite recently, Go did not have built-in package versioning like npm or cargo. This led to incompatibile versioning add-ons, like godep and glide, which made packages with nested dependencies difficult to consume. E.g. see this old INSTALL.md from kubernetes/client-go.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing govendor and godep you can also consider the following projects:
dep
glide - Package Management for Golang
gvt
gom - Go Manager - bundle for go
gopm
johnny-deps - Barebones dependency manager for Go.
Trash - Minimalistic Go vendored code manager
goop - A simple dependency manager for Go (golang), inspired by Bundler.
