Go Versioning Packager gvp stands for Go Versioning Packager and is based on gst, a similar tool that provides dependency isolation for Ruby gems. The tool modifies your GOPATH to point to a local .godeps/ directory so that you can keep the dependencies of your project isolated there, it also modifies GOBIN and PATH to include the new GOPATH/bin directory. gvp is a companion tool to gpm but both tools can be used independently from each other.
