Working with dependencies

Ensure that you create your Dep project under $GOPATH/src. The GOPATH variable points to a root directory that contains bin, pkg, and src subdirectories. The project source is under src. Tools like godep and go install operate on the project source, not on the entire GOPATH. For more details about the dep project, see the Go Workspace documentation.

If you want to use any location for the project source, consider using Go modules integration.
