## What it is
Gopm is a package manager and build tool for the Go language that downloads, builds, and installs packages with specific revisions without requiring version control tools like git. It has been archived since 2019 in favor of Go Modules and its official proxy infrastructure.

## Use cases
- manage go package dependencies without installing git or hg
- build go packages at specific revisions
- run go projects in isolated gopath environments
- download go dependencies from a proxy
- build go binaries with pinned dependency versions

## When to choose
- you are stuck on Go < 1.11 and cannot use Go Modules
- you need to reproduce legacy builds that already use gopmfiles

## When to avoid
- any modern Go project - use Go Modules instead
- you expect updates, support, or the gopm.io service (taken down end of 2019)
- starting a new project
