isn't make bootstrap the equivalent? From glide --help:

update, up, install          Update or install a project's dependencies

@bacongobbler don't believe so.

According to the update documentation: Download or update all of the libraries listed in the glide.yaml file ... A glide.lock file will be created or updated with the dependencies pinned to specific versions.

And, according to the install documentation: This will read the glide.lock file, making sure it's tied to the glide.yaml file, and install the commit id specific versions there ... When the glide.lock file doesn't tie to the glide.yaml file, such as there being a change, it will provide an error. Running glide up will recreate the glide.lock file when updating the dependency tree.

Also, based on my experience so far, glide up has two major differences from install:

1. If you've changed your glide.yaml file, you can run it to regenerate your glide.lock file
2. If you've specified a dependency, but no specific version, in your glide.yaml, you can run glide update to update its version in the glide.lock

gotcha. I'm okay with this since it doesn't affect anything else.
