Godep is a Go dependency management CLI tool that fixes dependencies to enable reproducible builds by saving a dependency list and vendoring source code. It is officially archived and superseded by dep and Go modules.

Use cases

  • manage dependencies for a legacy Go project
  • vendor Go dependencies into the repository
  • make Go builds reproducible
  • migrate an old Godeps project to dep
  • pin exact dependency versions in Go before modules

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy pre-modules Go codebase that already uses Godeps
  • you need to read or convert an old Godeps/Godeps. file

When to avoid

  • starting any new Go project
  • using Go 1.11+ where Go modules are the standard
  • you want actively maintained tooling
