My answer to Does Go have an equivalent node.js’s NPM? on Quora
Sort of. Go ships with a command that can download and compile a dependency for your project ("go get github.com/russross/blackfriday") but it doesn’t have a solution for library versioning yet (as far as I can tell).
http://golang.org/doc/code.html is a useful guide to how Go’s development workflow works.More recent articles
