-    `gvt` works recursively as you would expect, and lets you update vendored dependencies. It also writes a manifest to `./vendor/manifest` and never touches your system GOPATH. Finally, it strips the VCS metadata so that you can commit the vendored source cleanly.

 ## Alternative: not checking in vendored source
 
-Some developers prefer not to check in the source of the vendored dependencies. In that case you can add lines like these to e.g. your `.gitignore`

 Please consider that this approach has the following consequences:
 
   * the package consumer will need gvt to fetch the dependencies
-  * the dependencies will need to remain available from the source repositories: if the original repository goes down or rewrites history, build reproducibility is lost
