- gocheckcompilerdirectives# validates go compiler directive comments (//go:)
- gochecknoglobals# checks that no global variables exist
- gochecknoinits# checks that no init functions are present in Go code
- gochecksumtype# checks exhaustiveness on Go "sum types"
- gocognit# computes and checks the cognitive complexity of functions
- goconst# finds repeated strings that could be replaced by a constant
- gocritic# provides diagnostics that check for bugs, performance and style issues
- gocyclo# computes and checks the cyclomatic complexity of functions
- godot# checks if comments end in a period
- goimports# in addition to fixing imports, goimports also formats your code in the same style as gofmt
- gomoddirectives# manages the use of 'replace', 'retract', and 'excludes' directives in go.mod
- 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
- iface# checks the incorrect use of interfaces, helping developers avoid interface pollution
- intrange# finds places where for loops could make use of an integer range
- 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
- mirror# reports wrong mirror patterns of bytes/strings usage
- mnd# detects magic numbers
- musttag# enforces field tags in (un)marshaled structs
- 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
#- prealloc # [premature optimization, but can be used in some cases] finds slice declarations that could potentially be preallocated
#- tagalign # checks that struct tags are well aligned
#- 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
#- zerologlint # detects the wrong usage of zerolog that a user forgets to dispatch zerolog.Event
## 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
#- err113 # [too strict] checks the errors handling expressions
#- 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
#- exportloopref # [not necessary from Go 1.22] checks for pointers to enclosing loop variables
#- forcetypeassert # [replaced by errcheck] finds forced type assertions
#- 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
#- gosmopolitan # reports certain i18n/l10n anti-patterns in your Go codebase
#- grouper # analyzes expression groups
#- importas # enforces consistent import aliases

#- 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
