To migrate your Go project to use Go modules, you can follow these steps: 1. Ensure you have Go 1.11 or later. 2. Run go mod init <module-name> in your project directory. 3. Update your import paths in the code. 4. Use go mod tidy to clean up dependencies.

What if my project has a lot of dependencies?

If your project has many dependencies, go mod tidy will help by adding necessary dependencies and removing unused ones. You can also manually add dependencies using go get <dependency>.
