As I said in my other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15632049)

It works for you because it's a small project and you are not actually importing other of your own packages inside it.

But if you look at "echo", it import some other "echo" packages inside of it.

Okay, updated my example with `echo`. Check it out:

Using the original package name: https://github.com/sofuture/colortest/blob/master/main.go#L7

I can refer to my fork: https://github.com/sofuture/colortest/blob/master/Gopkg.toml...

Oh I see.

Thank you for the example :)

That doesn't matter is what I'm saying :) The package name of my fork isn't changed, and doesn't need to be, regardless of what else uses it. The only thing I had to do was specify 'use my fork's repo' in the Gopkg.toml file.

Edit: I'll fork echo in my example and show you.
