Hyperglide

Glide is a tool that makes it easy to manage vendor directories in Go.

Hyperglide is an opinionated wrapper around Glide which supports only three operations:

1. Updating every non-pinned dependency to the latest master (hyperglide up)
2. Updating a single dependency to the latest master (hyperglide up <package>)
3. Installing new dependencies, and only new dependencies (hyperglide newdep)

Installing

go get -u github.com/russellhaering/hyperglide

How it Works

Updating Dependencies

When you run hyperglide up, hyperglide:

1. Backs up your glide.yaml
2. Generates a new one which forces every unpinned dependency referenced in glide.lock to master
3. Runs glide update -v
4. Restores your glide.yaml

This mostly exists as a workaround to this issue.

New Dependencies

When you run hyperglide newdep, hyperglide:

1. Backs up your glide.yaml
2. Generates a new one which forces every dependency to the version referenced in glide.lock
3. Runs glide update -v
4. Restores your glide.yaml

This will cause Glide to vendor any new dependencies referenced in your repository, without updating existing ones.
