| This page contains a list of tools for managing Go packages and their dependencies. The tools are divided into categories based on their approach to version management. |
| |
| The approach endorsed by the Go project is package copy with import path re-writes. |
| |
| ## Pkg copy with import path re-write |
| Vendoring takes the 3rd party source code that is referenced in your project and makes a copy of that code inside a new folder within the project. It re-writes the import paths so there is a single copy of all packages. Not GOPATH modifications are required. |
