Have you used the `go` tool before? `go get` handles transitive dependencies. You use that to download your dependencies. From there, it's trivial to check them into your tree and update the import paths. > Please explain how manual operations are faster I said that I spend less time managing package trivia for my Go projects than for any other package. It's not like I spend a lot of time on packages for other languages anyway, but you told me my approach "increased friction." But this is contrary to my experience. It's not like I have a huge problem with how other languages do things. Or even that I think the `go` tool is better. I just know that it works well. So I'm trying to share that experience for people who can't imagine how it might work well.
