git-vendor

A work in progress git command for managing golang vendor dependencies.

git-vendor is a wrapper around git-subtree commands for checking out and updating vendored dependencies.

git-vendor provides the following commands:

• git vendor add <repository> <ref> - add a new vendored dependency in vendor/
• git vendor list - list all current vendored dependencies, their source, and current vendored ref.
• git vendor update <dir> <ref> - update a vendored dependency to <ref>.

Installation

Manually:

git clone https://github.com/brettlangdon/git-vendor
cd ./git-vendor
make

One-liner:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brettlangdon/git-vendor/master/install.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin
