## What it is
golines is a Go code formatter that shortens long lines in addition to standard gofmt fixes. The original segmentio repository was archived in December 2025 and is in maintenance mode, with an actively maintained fork at golangci/golines.

## Use cases
- shorten long lines in go source files
- format go code beyond what gofmt does
- enforce a max line length in go projects
- auto-split long map and function call lines in go
- integrate line-shortening formatting into go CI pipelines

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained tool - use the golangci/golines fork instead
- you are fine with standard gofmt behavior
