Hi Maurizio,
I tend to use go vendoring for this purpose.
I set GOPATH to $HOME, and this is my "global" environment. Each
project is checked out to its module path.
Instead of using 'go get' to get dependencies, I use git submodules via
vendetta. This checks out all of the dependencies for each project
under `vendor`, giving me a 'complete' environment for each project.
The vendored project is not included in my repository, just the SHA1 of
the version I'm depending on. The vendored projects' repositories are
kept under '.git/modules'. I have to run 'git submodule update --init'
when I change branches if the dependencies have changed.
This gives me reproducible builds, as well as "isolated" build
environments for each project I'm working on.
Installing a binary inside the project from the vendored directory is a
little awkward, something like:
ln -sf vendor src
[ -d bin ] || mkdir bin
export GOBIN=`pwd`/bin
cd src/github.com/mattes/migrate
go install
But generally for my own computer I don't care and can just 'go get
github.com/mattes/migrate' - the above is more for things like
continuous integration and deployment, where I want the tools installed
to be reproducible as well.
Hope that helps!
Sam
