Using golint in Goland

I sent this post to the nice folks at JetBrains and they pointed out a few things:

  • golint is frozen and deprecated (no changes since 2018)
  • GoLand includes some of the checks from golint
  • Access them via File | Settings | Editor | Inspections | Go / Go Modules / Go Template
  • GoLand users can critique/request inspections via YouTrack

At this point I’m going to turn off all linters and explore the built-in inspections.
