- gomodguard# allow and block lists linter for direct Go module dependencies. This is different from depguard where there are different block types for example version constraints and module recommendations
- goprintffuncname# checks that printf-like functions are named with f at the end
- gosec# inspects source code for security problems
- lll# reports long lines
- loggercheck# checks key value pairs for common logger libraries (kitlog,klog,logr,zap)
- makezero# finds slice declarations with non-zero initial length
- nakedret# finds naked returns in functions greater than a specified function length
- nestif# reports deeply nested if statements
- nilerr# finds the code that returns nil even if it checks that the error is not nil
- nilnil# checks that there is no simultaneous return of nil error and an invalid value
- noctx# finds sending http request without context.Context
- nolintlint# reports ill-formed or insufficient nolint directives
- nosprintfhostport# checks for misuse of Sprintf to construct a host with port in a URL
- predeclared# finds code that shadows one of Go's predeclared identifiers
- promlinter# checks Prometheus metrics naming via promlint
- reassign# checks that package variables are not reassigned
- revive# fast, configurable, extensible, flexible, and beautiful linter for Go, drop-in replacement of golint
- stylecheck# is a replacement for golint
- tenv# detects using os.Setenv instead of t.Setenv since Go1.17
- testableexamples# checks if examples are testable (have an expected output)
- tparallel# detects inappropriate usage of t.Parallel() method in your Go test codes
- unconvert# removes unnecessary type conversions
- unparam# reports unused function parameters
- usestdlibvars# detects the possibility to use variables/constants from the Go standard library
- whitespace# detects leading and trailing whitespace
#- prealloc # [premature optimization, but can be used in some cases] finds slice declarations that could potentially be preallocated
#- varnamelen # [great idea, but too many false positives] checks that the length of a variable's name matches its scope
#- wrapcheck # checks that errors returned from external packages are wrapped
## disabled
#- containedctx # detects struct contained context.Context field
#- contextcheck # [too many false positives] checks the function whether use a non-inherited context
#- depguard # [replaced by gomodguard] checks if package imports are in a list of acceptable packages
#- dogsled # checks assignments with too many blank identifiers (e.g. x, _, _, _, := f())
#- dupword # [useless without config] checks for duplicate words in the source code
#- errchkjson # [don't see profit + I'm against of omitting errors like in the first example https://github.com/breml/errchkjson] checks types passed to the json encoding functions. Reports unsupported types and optionally reports occasions, where the check for the returned error can be omitted
#- forcetypeassert # [replaced by errcheck] finds forced type assertions
#- goerr113 # [too strict] checks the errors handling expressions
#- gofmt # [replaced by goimports] checks whether code was gofmt-ed
#- gofumpt # [replaced by goimports, gofumports is not available yet] checks whether code was gofumpt-ed
#- grouper # analyzes expression groups
#- importas # enforces consistent import aliases
#- maintidx # measures the maintainability index of each function
#- misspell # [useless] finds commonly misspelled English words in comments
#- nlreturn # [too strict and mostly code is not more readable] checks for a new line before return and branch statements to increase code clarity
#- paralleltest # [too many false positives] detects missing usage of t.Parallel() method in your Go test
#- tagliatelle # checks the struct tags
#- thelper # detects golang test helpers without t.Helper() call and checks the consistency of test helpers
#- wsl # [too strict and mostly code is not more readable] whitespace linter forces you to use empty lines
## deprecated
#- deadcode # [deprecated, replaced by unused] finds unused code
#- exhaustivestruct # [deprecated, replaced by exhaustruct] checks if all struct's fields are initialized
#- golint # [deprecated, replaced by revive] golint differs from gofmt. Gofmt reformats Go source code, whereas golint prints out style mistakes
#- ifshort # [deprecated] checks that your code uses short syntax for if-statements whenever possible
