-Hugo uses [Go Dep](https://github.com/golang/dep) to vendor dependencies, but we don't commit the vendored packages themselves to the Hugo git repository.
-Therefore, a simple `go get` is not supported since `go get` is not vendor-aware.

 the source changes, but you'll need to keep the vendored packages up-to-date as
 well.
