How do I vendor dependencies?

In Go, vendor dependencies allow you to bundle the libraries used in your project within the same repository. This ensures that your project has consistent and reproducible builds by making it independent of external changes in the libraries.

To vendor dependencies in a Go project, you typically use the Go Modules feature with the `go mod` command. Here’s how you can do it:

// Initialize a new module go mod init your-module-name // Add a dependency go get github.com/some/dependency // Vendor all dependencies go mod vendor

After running the above commands, a `vendor` directory will be created in your project containing all the dependencies your module requires. You can then import the required packages from the vendor directory in your Go files.
