1. 背景
不论是开发Java还是你正在学习的Golang，都会遇到依赖管理问题。Java有牛逼轰轰的Maven和Gradle。 Golang亦有godep、govendor、glide、gvt、gopack等等，本文主要给大家介绍gilde。 glide是Golang的包管理工具，是为了解决Golang依赖问题的。 为什么需要glide？ 原因很简单，Go 语言原生包管理的缺陷。罗列一下golang的 get 子命令管理依赖有很多大缺陷：
* 能拉取源码的平台很有限，绝大多数依赖的是 github.com
* 不能区分版本，以至于令开发者以最后一项包名作为版本划分
* 依赖 列表/关系 无法持久化到本地，需要找出所有依赖包然后一个个 go get
* 只能依赖本地全局仓库（GOPATH/GOROOT），无法将库放置于局部仓库（$PROJECT_HOME/vendor）
2. Error问题
项目中使用到了golang.org/x/crypto/ssh包，而由于国内网络原因，无法直接下载，需要提前从github.com/golang/crypto下载然后放到指定位置
* 项目中glide依赖初始化

3. ERROR解决
经通过度娘查询一圈发现，十个结果九个一样内容（在此鄙视抓内容的站点和纯copy的博主三秒种），最后在glide开源点github上的issue上找到解决方式
* 修改glide生成的glide.yaml文件
package: test import: - package: github.com/pkg/sftp version: ~1.2.0 - package: golang.org/x/crypto/ssh
修改为：
package: test import: - package: github.com/pkg/sftp version: ~1.2.0 - package: golang.org/x/crypto subpackages: - ssh
* 重新更新下载依赖
[lisea@lisea test]$ glide up [INFO] Loading mirrors from mirrors.yaml file [INFO] Downloading dependencies. Please wait...

4. 总结
以需求驱动技术，技术本身没有优略之分，只有业务之分。
