What did you do?

I was following the tutorial guide. When I ran go get ., I got an error.

What did you expect to see?

I wanted to download only the gin dependency that I imported in my main.go file.

What did you see instead?

I installed gin dependency, but it kept downloading other things I don't require. I believe that portion of the tutorial should be corrected so that only the required dependency gets downloaded. Thank you.

Those are all required dependencies of gin.

Unlike many projects, the Go project does not use GitHub Issues for general discussion or asking questions. GitHub Issues are used for tracking bugs and proposals only.
