revive is a fast, configurable static analysis framework for Go that’s designed as a drop-in replacement for golint.
It helps developers enforce code quality with a broad collection of linting rules, supports stricter review workflows through configurable presets, and can be extended with custom rules and formatters to fit different projects and team standards.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Uses a TOML configuration file to enable, disable, and tune linting rules.
- Supports optional type checking for rules that need deeper semantic analysis.
- Lets you disable a specific rule or the entire linter for a file or a selected range of lines.
- Includes multiple output formatters such as plain, JSON, checkstyle, SARIF, and stylish.
- Allows custom return codes based on overall lint results or selected rule failures.
- Can be extended with custom rules and custom formatters.
