Bit confused with Godeps in general. Say I'm contributing Go code to a central repository, and now I need to pull the code and contribute my own code changes. What would be the correct godep
flow?
Would it be:
git pull // pull latest master
godep restore // Install the package versions specified in Godeps/Godeps.json to $GOPATH
go get foo/bar // Get package foo/bar and edit your code to import foo/bar
godep save ./... // Saves dependencies
// Then, check into source control
One option:
But, I don't like restoring to my GOPATH in disconnected HEAD states of git, since I contribute to several other repos (and have gotten errors in the past with this) directly within my GOPATH.
So I usually do this:
Using
godep
as a prefix changes the $GOPATH for go-related functions.TIP: set all the
flags
of your main executable with sensible defaults, for all developers. That way they don't need to pass custom parameters just for local development.
