The standard github .gitignore file for GO does not exclude vendored directories. Since Go 1.5, the Go compiler with look for dependencies under the
/vendor/**
path first and default back to the$GOPATH/**
. Most vendoring tools for go do not expect you to have the directories under/vendor
checked in but willgo get
them into the vendor directory. That's why I recommend excluding the/vendor/**
directories. The/vendor/manifest
file is needed by many dependency management tools in Go to keep a record of the vendored dependencies and rebuild them if necessary - so it should not be excluded.
