Managing Go dependencies on git

Question

I develop and maintain my Go project in the following directory:

PROJECT_DIR=$GOPATH/src/github.com/<USERNAME>/<PROJECT_NAME>/main.go
PROJECT_DIR=$GOPATH/src/github.com/<USERNAME>/<PROJECT_NAME>/<APP-1>
PROJECT_DIR=$GOPATH/src/github.com/<USERNAME>/<PROJECT_NAME>/<APP-2>

But this way I can only track changes in my project and I cannot track dependencies and their versions.

I was wondering if there's an automated way of cloning all the dependencies using the version that my project is using and not the latest commit?

You should look at Glide.

Glide provides simplified Go project management, dependency management, and vendoring.

Glide basically changes your $GOPATH on the fly and keeps copies of your dependencies in a local structure instead of the global structure that is customary for a standard Go environment.
