dep is NOT an official tool. Yet. Check out the Roadmap!
Current status
Alpha. Functionality is known to be broken, missing or incomplete. Changes are planned to the CLI commands soon. The repository is open to solicit feedback and contributions from the community. Please see below for feedback and contribution guidelines.
Gopkg.toml and Gopkg.lock have reached a stable structure, and it is safe to
commit them in your projects. We plan to add more to these files, but we
guarantee these changes will be backwards-compatible.
