This project is a dependency management tool for Go designed to track and lock package versions to ensure reproducible builds across different environments. It functions as a version lock file manager, recording complete snapshots of the dependency graph to prevent version drift, and as a semantic version constraint resolver that calculates compatible package versions.
The tool orchestrates a local vendor directory, mirroring external source code to enable offline builds and source auditing. It utilizes a combination of static analysis to discover required libraries and a logic engine to intersect semantic version ranges and revisions.
Broad capability areas include dependency synchronization, integrity verification through hashing, and the management of remote repository caches. It also provides utilities for dependency tree visualization, version updating, and forced versioning to resolve conflicts between direct and transitive dependencies.
