Hey folks, I recently learnt that Gradle has support for source dependencies https://blog.gradle.org/introducing-source-dependencies. Was curious to know if any one uses this? How has your experience been? I wanted to understand if gradle can also support behaviour similar to go's package manager where we could use a git repo for the code and then build it locally before using.

No, it did not. The feature was not really driven forward and afaik is still in the state shown in that blog post. If it works, it works ok, but there are some shortcomings that were not addressed yet. An alternative would be to use melix's

includegit-gradle-plugin

which also documents some quirks and differences to that feature: https://melix.github.io/includegit-gradle-plugin

thanks, I'll check this out
