That seems to be a lot of work for little gain. It looks like it should not be too difficult to create a script that will convert from go.mod to EGO_VENDOR format. For example, take this go.mod file: https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/go.mod It contains a line like this: golang.org/x/net v0.0.0-20190620200207-3b0461eec859 The part after the last hyphen corresponds to the commit hash which can be used directly or expanded like this: $ curl -sS https://api.github.com/repos/golang/net/commits/3b0461eec859 | jq -r .sha 3b0461eec859c4b73bb64fdc8285971fd33e3938 The github owner and repo names can resolved like this: $ curl -sS https://golang.org/x/net | grep go-source I've found that `go get` parses a similar meta element named "go-import" here: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/cmd/go/internal/get/discovery.go -- Thanks, Zac
