Go dep and forks of libraries

Question

I\'m trying to understand how to work with Golang and forks. The situation is the following, I\'m writing a library project which depends on library github.co

Answer 1

If you look at the help you will see this:

[:alt source URL][@]

So to add github.com/foo/bar from location github.com/fork/bar you have to add it like this:

dep ensure -add github.com/foo/bar:github.com/fork/bar

The source location will be added as source attribute in the Gopkg.toml.
