-$ dep version
-dep:
- version     : devel
- build date  :
- git hash    :
- go version  : go1.9
- go compiler : gc
- platform    : linux/amd64
-```

-
-```console
-$ go get -u github.com/golang/dep

-$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/ingress-nginx
-$ dep ensure
-$ dep ensure -update
-$ dep prune
+$ go get
+$ make dep-ensure
