Removing vendor folder from Repository sounds very reasonable to. Should make all code reviews in future easier. I am not a go guy, thus I cannot tell if there is something special to take into account when removing vendor folders, but in general it is best practice I guess ;)

this PR as is would work. no further steps required. Though the discussion in #284 is not finished yet. There you also can find opinions and reasons for not removing the vendor folder.

Unless I missed it in the file list, was the vendor folder added to the .gitignore? If not, I believe that's something that we'll want to do to avoid committing the vendor folder back to the repo.

Why remove the vendor directory? It makes it kinda easier when doing code reviews for getting new dependencies. You can have a CI system that validates the vendor directory hasn't been manually modified.

Hello, we discussed that matter in #284 - feel free to add your opinion there. I'll wait a few days for it, before going forward with it. So you get a last chance to convince me otherwise 😉

Thanks for the link, I'll do my best to participate in the discussion soon (out of the country with limited access for a bit).

Cheers!
