Possible enhancements.

• Have a way to see the list of all packages that (directly or indirectly) depend on the shown repo.
  • Should use cmd/goimporters to achieve this.
• Have a way to (safely) remove the shown repo (move it to trash only if there are no local changes).
  • Should use gopathutil.RemoveRepo() to achieve this.
• Display errors when doing go get -u -d in some way?

What about displaying just the packages that are imported in the current directory or something like that?

Nice project btw.

I would like to see a "Delete" button.

I think an ability to delete Go package repos (safely) would be nice, but it'd be great if it were done on a separate tab, where you can just list all packages (instead of updates).

+1 to delete repos (especially unused ones)

[dmitshur]

On the topic of deleting "unused" repos (well, let's say finding them; deleting is orthogonal). I've been thinking about it, and realized the following.

In order to determine what Go packages (or repos) are unused, you need to provide, as input, all the packages you care about being able to build (and possibly what additional build tags or OS/arch combinations you want to be able to build under), as well as if you want to preserve packages needed for running their tests.

Without that information, it's physically not possible to determine what is "unused" (aside from making some guesses or assumptions about what you use/care about).

I think I'll most likely want to start off with a simpler milestone and focus on listing all Go packages (on a separate tab) and have the ability to safely move them to trash (if they have no content aside from what can be retrieved by go-getting them again).

Afterwards, I can think about answering the question "what other packages/repos import something from here", via cmd/goimporters or similar.

I also want to add support for easily moving Go packages between different GOPATH workspaces. I think that's something where GPS could be helpful, since doing that manually is somewhat painful.
