Migrating from glide to dep: Golang

I had started using glide when I initially started learning Go. Since then, I have moved to dep.

In an existing project, with dependencies managed by glide, an easy way to switch to dep is to run:

  $ dep init
  Importing configuration from glide. These are only initial constraints, and are further refined during the solve process.
  Detected glide configuration files...
  Converting from glide.yaml and glide.lock...

  Old vendor backed up to /Users/gaurav/.goenv/src/github.com/algogrit/yaes-server/_vendor-20180217215249

This creates a couple of new files and a backup of the vendor directory.

  $ git status

  Untracked files:
    (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

    Gopkg.lock
    Gopkg.toml
    _vendor-20180217215249/

  nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Check if the project builds/runs successfully. Once it does, now you can remove the glide.* files and the backed up _vendor-* directory. That's all folks.
