<p>Really liked Gom, but wanted more control. We're GitHub forking our dependencies so we have full control, so I wrote fdm to use those forks without import rewriting.</p>

<p>Hopefully the advantages of this approach are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Follows GitHub friendly fork/PR workflow</li>
<li>Keeps third-party code outside of your code repository resulting in a clean separation (gitignore _vendor)</li>
<li>No import rewriting required thanks to symlinks</li>
<li>Controlled by a Vendors file, making third-party dependencies explicit</li>
<li>Pass arguments to git so you have full control over which is clone (branch, tag, commit etc)</li>
</ul>
