alternatively you can "start from the ground up"` add add the dependencies you need with gx like so:
`gx import <your-package-here>` which will then add your dependencies to a `package.json` file in your git repo root.

The one issue with that is any non gx dependencies will get wiped out when you use `dep` for your other dependencies, in which case you can rebuild your vendored dependencies like so https://github.com/RTradeLtd/storj-ipfs-ds-plugin/blob/aec57fb4aa8a538d53f6881d17f8bf408db1e3b9/Makefile#L13-L27

which temporarily takes out your `gx` dependencies from your vendor folder so they dont get clobbered by `dep`, and then copies them back into your folder after you've built your `dep` dependencies
