gostyle

gostyle is a set of analyzers for coding styles.

Disclaimer

gostyle IS NOT Go Style.

"Go Style" in Google Style Guides is a great style and we will actively refer to it, but we cannot implement the same rules perfectly, and we may extend the rules.

gostyle IS NOT STANDARD.

gostyle IS to help you maintain YOUR Go project coding STYLE.

Usage

$ go vet -vettool=`which gostyle`
