   * `go.sum` contains the expected cryptographic checksums of the content of specific module versions.
   * If someone clones your repository and downloads your dependencies using the go command, they will receive an error if there is any mismatch between their downloaded copies of your dependencies and the corresponding entries in your `go.sum`.
   * In addition, `go mod verify` checks that the on-disk cached copies of module downloads still match the entries in `go.sum`.
-  * Note that `go.sum` is not a traditional lock file as used in some alternative dependency management systems.
