golangci-lint is a fast, parallel linters runner for Go that bundles over a hundred linters and formatters behind a single CLI with YAML configuration and caching. It integrates with major IDEs and CI systems, including an official GitHub Action.
Use cases
- lint go code in ci
- run multiple go linters with one command
- enforce go code style with gofumpt and gofmt
- add go linting to github actions
- configure go linters via yaml config
- find bugs and code smells in golang projects
- speed up go linting with caching
When to choose
- you maintain a Go codebase and want a single tool aggregating many linters
- you need fast, cached linting in CI pipelines
- you want consistent lint configuration shared across IDEs and CI
When to avoid
- your project is not written in Go
- you need a single specialized linter with features golangci-lint does not expose
- you require a non-GPLv3 licensed tool
