Repository Setup

After installing and configuring the toolchain listed in the Requirements section:

1. Clone the repository with ssh:

   $ mkdir -p "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/wayfair"
   $ cd "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/wayfair"
   $ git clone git@github.com:wayfair/terraform-provider-utils.git

2. Include the utility repo in your provider:

   Update your Gopkg.toml to include the repo as a dependency:

   # Gopkg.toml
   
   [[constraint]]
     name = "github.com/wayfair/terraform-provider-utils"
     # constraint to a specific version, release here:
     version = "=1.0.0"
   

   Include the needed package(s) to your source files:

   // resource_example_foo.go
   //
   // Example provider, foo resource
   
   package example
   
   import (
       // Import a specific subpackage from the repo, in this case 'example'.
       // Here, we don't define a pseudonym, so the package is accessible by
       // 'example'.
       "github.com/wayfair/terraform-provider-utils/example"
       // Here we are importing the 'example2' package under the pseudonym
       // 'ex'. It is available in this file as 'ex' not 'example2'
       ex "github.com/wayfair/terraform-provider-utils/example2"
   )
   
   // ...
   

   Update your repository to include the constraint with dep:

   $> dep ensure
