Golint is a linter for Go source code that flags stylistic mistakes based on Effective Go and the Go CodeReviewComments conventions. It is deprecated and frozen; users are directed to Staticcheck and go vet instead.
Use cases
- lint go source code for style issues
- check go code against effective go conventions
- find style mistakes in go packages
- run go style checks in editors via quickfix output
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Go codebase already configured to use golint
- you specifically need the historical golint suggestion set
When to avoid
- starting a new Go project - use Staticcheck or go vet instead
- you need enforced, configurable lint rules in CI
- you need actively maintained tooling
