What problem does it solve?

Go projects often lack consistent dependency management, testing discipline, and code quality practices, leading to fragile code and higher maintenance costs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Module management: go mod init, tidy, and verification for reliable dependencies.
• Testing discipline: go test coverage and robust testing practices.
• Code quality & formatting: gofmt, go vet, and golangci-lint for consistent style and safety.
• Idiomatic error handling and clean code structure across packages.

Quick Start

• Initialize a module: go mod init github.com/org/project
• Apply standard checks: go fmt -w ., go vet ./..., go test ./...
• Install and run linting: install golangci-lint and run golangci-lint run
• Keep dependencies tidy: go mod tidy
