GolangCI-Lint

Supported Version	Language	Website
1.27.0	Go 1.14.4	https://golangci-lint.run

GolangCI-Lint is a linter to aggregate multiple linters and a successor to Go Meta Linter which is deprecated.

Getting Started

To start using GolangCI-Lint, enable it in your repository settings.

If you want to customize it, put a configuration file (e.g. .golangci.yml) in your repository.

Default Configuration for GolangCI-Lint

In addition to enabled by default linters, Sider enables some useful linters if you have no configuration file like .golangci.yml. See the default configuration file for details.

Migration from Govet and Golint

Sider has deprecated Govet and Golint and instead recommended GolangCI-Lint. If you want to continue using them, all you have to do is enable GolangCI-Lint. They are enabled by default.

If you want to run only Govet or Golint as before, edit your configuration file as follows:

# .golangci.yml
linters:
  disable-all: true
  enable:
    - govet # or golint

Configuration

Here is a configuration example via sider.yml:

linter:
  golangci_lint:
    target: dir/...
    config: golangci.yml
    disable:
      - govet
      - unused
    disable-all: false
    enable:
      - golint
      - gosec
    fast: true
    no-config: false
    presets: complexity
    skip-dirs:
      - src/external_libs
    skip-dirs-use-default: true
    skip-files:
      - ".*\\.my\\.go$"
      - lib/bad.go
    tests: false
    uniq-by-line: true

You can use the following options to fine-tune GolangCI-Lint to your project.

Name	Type	Default
root_dir	string	-
target	string, string[]	./...
config	string	-
no-config	boolean	false
disable	string, string[]	-
disable-all	boolean	false
enable	string	-
fast	string, string[]	-
presets	string, string[]	-
skip-dirs	string, string[]	-
skip-dirs-use-default	boolean	true
skip-files	string, string[]	-
tests	boolean	true
uniq-by-line	boolean	true

See also the official document about the command-line options.
