One of the first ever Redis libraries for Go was hosted at github.com/garyburd/redigo.

It has been deprecated for some time and has now been finally removed altogether from Github. If you still have a dependency on this project, this means that will be broken now.

github.com/gomodule/redigo should be a drop-in replacement for github.com/garyburd/redigo. If you still depend on the old service, update the organization name, and you should be good to go.

My hope in writing this is to save time for the next person who is searching for a replacement for this library. Please pay it forward by taking a tiny bit of extra time the next time something breaks, and tell people how to fix the problem.
