gpm is a barebones, shell-based dependency manager for Go that pins external package dependencies to specific revisions via a Godeps manifest file. It achieves reproducible builds by fetching dependencies with go get and checking out the exact versions specified.

Use cases

• pin go dependencies to exact revisions
• achieve reproducible builds for go applications
• manage go dependencies with a simple Godeps file
• install go dependencies on CI servers
• isolate go project dependencies in workspaces

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy Go project predating Go modules
• you want a minimal, dependency-free bash tool for pinning Go package revisions
• you need a lightweight dependency fetcher for CI environments

When to avoid

• you are starting a new Go project - use Go modules instead
• you need active maintenance or modern Go tooling support
• you need dependency resolution, semantic versioning, or module proxies
