go - Google Container Builder: How to install govendor dependencies during build step?

Question

I am trying to use Google Cloud Container Builder to automate the building of my containers using GCP Build Triggers

My code is in Go, and I have a vendor folder in my project root which contains all of my Go dependencies (I use govendor). However, this vendor folder is NOT checked in to source control.

I have a cloudbuild.yaml file where I first build my Go source into a main executable, and then build a Docker image using this executable. Container Builder ensures these build steps have access to my master branch.

The problem is that the Go compilation step fails, because the vendor folder is not checked in to source control, so none of my dependencies are available for any build step.

Is there a way to create a build step that uses govendor to install all dependencies in the vendor folder? If so, how? Or is the only option to check in my vendor directory into source control (which seems unnecessary to me)?

根据@JimB 和@Peter 对我的问题的评论，一个简单的解决方案是将我的vendor目录添加到 Git，这样我就不必在构建步骤期间下载所有依赖项。
