Improvement in managing binary dependencies

[kishaningithub]

Problem i see

There are tools like golangci-lint included as a direct dependency in the go.mod file, when we do things like go mod graph you see the amount of transitive deps it pulls in and it makes the dependency graph a chaos.

For example try this and see a visualization of the amount of deps

• Run command

go mod graph | modgraphviz | dot -Tsvg -o graph.svg

• Open graph.svg in your browser

You can install modgraphviz by running go install golang.org/x/exp/cmd/modgraphviz

Suggestion

I suggest giving https://github.com/bwplotka/bingo a try. Here is a blog on the same by the creator https://www.bwplotka.dev/2020/bingo/ this blog goes through several problems faced while managing binary deps in a go project

I was able to integrate bingo in my tool rdapp and it works quite well
