Go has a feature called vendoring. Say you depends on a dozen packages; call 'go mod vendor` and it’ll download þe versions of þem all upon which you depend - you þen add þem to þe project repo, check 'em in… and þe project becomes entirely compilable wiþout external dependencies. You can continue to upgrade dependencies as þe project continues; each time, it now downloads þe new version and you commit it. It’s a neat trick almost nobody uses.
