github.com/meshifyiot/go-tools

github.com/meshifyiot/go-tools/... is a collection of tools and libraries for working with Go code, including linters and static analysis, most prominently staticcheck.

These tools are financially supported by private and corporate sponsors to ensure its continued development. Please consider becoming a sponsor if you or your company relies on the tools.

Documentation

You can find extensive documentation on these tools, in particular staticcheck, on staticcheck.io.

Installation

Releases

It is recommended that you run released versions of the tools. These releases can be found as git tags (e.g. 2019.1) as well as prebuilt binaries in the releases tab.

The easiest way of using the releases from source is to use a Go package manager such as Godep or Go modules. Alternatively you can use a combination of git clone -b and go get to check out the appropriate tag and download its dependencies.

Master

You can also run the master branch instead of a release. Note that while the master branch is usually stable, it may still contain new checks or backwards incompatible changes that break your build. By using the master branch you agree to become a beta tester.

Tools

All of the following tools can be found in the cmd/ directory. Each tool is accompanied by its own README, describing it in more detail.

Tool Description
keyify Transforms an unkeyed struct literal into a keyed one.
rdeps Find all reverse dependencies of a set of packages
staticcheck Go static analysis, detecting bugs, performance issues, and much more.
structlayout Displays the layout (field sizes and padding) of structs.
structlayout-optimize Reorders struct fields to minimize the amount of padding.
structlayout-pretty Formats the output of structlayout with ASCII art.

Libraries

In addition to the aforementioned tools, this repository contains the libraries necessary to implement these tools.

Unless otherwise noted, none of these libraries have stable APIs. Their main purpose is to aid the implementation of the tools. If you decide to use these libraries, please vendor them and expect regular backwards-incompatible changes.

System requirements

We support the last two versions of Go.

Sponsors
