Github fork and canonical imports

<p>Hello, </p> <p>I just started playing with Go and I have this strange problem. I found a Go library that I wanted to contribute to. I forked the project and quickly created a sample Go application that will try to import my fork. But because of the canonical import the original author has set, I cannot import my fork. I can change it but then how I&#39;m supposed to make a PR on it?</p> <p>Did I get anything wrong? What is the process of contributing to open source Go projects?</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>aboukirev: <pre><p>Don&#39;t <code>go get</code> your fork. Instead <code>git clone</code> it under appropriate folder structure (mimicking canonical url) in vendor folder of your test project. </p></pre>tv64738: <pre><p>No need to use <code>git clone</code> manually, you can <code>go get</code> the upstream, <code>git remote add</code> your fork.</p></pre>izuriel: <pre><p>Chances are you already have the library installed. So <code>cd</code> into it and add your fork as another remote. Checkout and push code to your remote and you can easily pull in changes made to primary repo as well. </p></pre>
