Linter is a static code analysis tool used to find programming errors, bugs, leaks of code standards, and even security flaws. These tools help developers because they save time by identifying issues before they happen in the production environment. It also keeps developers from unnecessarily checking if your colleague used the team standards.
Each programming language has their own tools: Ruby has Rubocop , JS has Eslint , and Go can’t be different. Searching at Awesome Go , a curated list of Go software, many tools can lint your code, but my favorite is golangci-lint . It is an aggregator of linting tools, meaning you only need one tool for multiple linters in your project.
