the CL (or ask the author to do so).

At the end of the development cycle, the files will be merged by being
concatenated in sorted order by pathname. Files in the directory matching the

Use caution when passing '-u' to 'go get'. The '-u' flag updates
modules providing all transitively imported packages, not only

Note that 'go mod vendor' only copies packages that are transitively
imported by packages in the current module. If a new package is needed,
