That is not true. Dave Cheney explained it very well at GDG Berlin Golang DevFest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3dW80eO88I (see at ~15:00) Godep, and other package managers too, are at best naive work-arounds shoehorned on top of 'go get', while gb is a genuine solution to the problem of reproducible builds in Go. In particular, I found the concept of 'import rewriting', used by countless of package managers, quite irksome and in direct opposition to the very same concept of a "reproducible build". You have no idea how many times I have been bitten by the disruptive behaviour of the 'import rewriting' of those package managers, much to my frustration and dismay. > Can you plead elaborate how using gb changes an6 of this? There is no need for me to elaborate.
