As you can see from lock, all the dependent packages are downloaded.

Download the package that made the version number

command:    glide get github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql#v1.2glide.yaml:    package: glide_demo    import:    - package: github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql      version: v1.2

Team Development

When the team starts, Glide.yaml and glide.lock need to be versioned, vendor ignored.
The process of team development under simulation
A classmate: Initialize the project, and submit the source code, where Glide.yaml and glide.lock content are as follows

glide.yaml:    package: glide_demo6    import:    - package: github.com/mattn/go-adodb    - package: github.com/go-ole/go-oleglide.lock:    hash: 18e3b9c2f5c11f3268b22ebdbea09636c5cae28e78f0011578f455c485e9d214    updated: 2016-05-18T23:43:15.8217224+08:00    imports:    - name: github.com/go-ole/go-ole      version: 572eabb84c424e76a0d39d31510dd7dfd62f70b2    - name: github.com/mattn/go-adodb      version: 452cccbbcfb7906b3cbc512992557c1083e1011b    devImports: []

B Classmate: Pull the project, execute glide install, will automatically download the corresponding package

Summarize

The benefit of

Using glide is that each project takes on its own separate package, and that it has a good control over the version of the package, which is especially important in team development.
