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
