+### Dependency management
+
+`go-jira` uses `dep` for dependency management.  After cloning the repo, it's easy to make sure you have the correct dependencies by running `dep ensure`.
+
+For adding new dependencies, updating dependencies, and other operations, the [Daily Dep](https://golang.github.io/dep/docs/daily-dep.html) is a good place to start.
