Try this: https://github.com/warpfork/gof https://github.com/warpfork/gof It's pretty easy to declare a GOPATH that's local to your project. I've been quietly doing it for years. The linked repo is just one short shell script that helps do it (on any project; you don't even have to commit the script, and it doesn't change how anyone else develops). Frankly, I think every highly-productive gopher outside the Google offices uses some form or another of this. It's unpopular to say it and goes against "the community" zeitgeist, but many people will admit it in private if you ask around. My biggest complaint about the current state of Go dependency management is actually the vendor dir. We never needed it; project-local GOPATH is enough in the first place. Now, we just get the headaches when both exist and are in conflict, or one provides something that should've been in the other (not a problem, until you push, and someone else on the team has to tell you that you didn't vendor enough...)
