If you're not a fan of submodules, but are in need of a this kind of tool, I'd recommend looking at `glide` [1] . I've had much better experiences, as a user, with `glide` than other tools, and it supports package aliasing which is really helpful. (Package aliasing allows for satisfying an import path with a private fork of a package, without having to rewrite all the import statements inside my fork.)
