Juice10 opened a new pull request #362: Add Govendor as the preferred way of installing dependencies for Go
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-cli/pull/362
 
 
   Adding in a native to Go dependency manager. 
   This allows people to not have to go through Gradle if they are doing everything in Go anyway.
   
   Homebrew also requires a native Go dependency manager as opposed to Gradle: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/31231
   
   I also looked at [godep](https://github.com/tools/godep) since `wskdeploy` is currently also using that. But according to Godep's own website the project has be Archived and is no longer maintained. This in favor of the many other dependency manager tools.
   
   During my hunt for a Go dependency manager I looked at a number of popular ones including Glide. And eventually I choose govendor because it is very actively being updated and the installation process seemed less involved (`go get ...`) than many other package managers.
