How to force dependencies to be installed from local directory

Question

I have an app hosted in Heroku, and I use glide to collect dependencies when deploying the app. The problem is that I have one library, namely, gonum.org/v1/gonum, that cannot be downloaded the standard way. Is it possible to somehow force glide to use pre-downloaded version of package instead?

Answer 1

If you are vendoring your dependencies before deploying to heroku, you should be able to place the pre-downloaded version of the dependency directly in the vendor folder instead.

Glide also support repo (see the documentation) which allows you to tell glide which repo to find the code in. You could push the code to a private (or public) github repo and configure your glide.yaml file to point at that repo.
