 In some cases, such as building a Go project for it to act as a dependency of a
 CI run for another project, removing the `vendor/` directory means the code must
 be downloaded repeatedly, which can lead to intermittent problems due to rate
-limiting or network failures. In these circumstances, you should cache the
-downloaded code between runs with a `.gitlab-ci.yml` snippet like this:
-

-.go-cache:
