The answer to the age-old question of, “should I commit the vendor dependencies in my Go project to source control?” As an FYI, we here at Qvault use Go for all of our backend work, and we always commit our vendor folders.

It is a folder found at the root of a module that stores a copy of all the code the module depends on. The code is used to compile the final executable when the go build command is run.

As a result, conventional wisdom in the Node community is to add node_modules to the .gitignore file in order to save space.
