How do I migrate from Dep to Go Modules

Question

I\'m currently using Dep and would like to start using Go modules.

How do I migrate?

Answer 1

Another way to upgrade to modules.

• Remove the Gopkg.toml and Gopkg.lock

  rm Gopkg.*

• Initialise the Go modules

  GO111MODULE=on go mod init

• Run go mod tidy to pull all the indirect modules and remove unused modules

  GO111MODULE=on go mod tidy

• Run build to ensure everything works fine

  go build

Tip in case you face few modules not found then manually update the modules tag in go.mod file.
