golangci-lint VS gofumpt

Things I can't live without in a new Go project in no particular order:

- https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint - meta-linter

- https://goreleaser.com - automate release workflows

- https://magefile.org - build tool that can version your tools

- https://github.com/ory/dockertest/v3 - run containers for e2e testing

- https://github.com/ecordell/optgen - generate functional options

- https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer - generate String()

- https://mvdan.cc/gofumpt - stricter gofmt

- https://github.com/stretchr/testify - test assertion library

- https://github.com/rs/zerolog - logging

- https://github.com/spf13/cobra - CLI framework

FWIW, I just lifted all the tools we use for https://github.com/authzed/spicedb

We've also written some custom linters that might be useful for other folks: https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/tree/main/tools/analyzers

Hey, I try to figure out an elegant way to integrate golangci into a Go project.

All of this is nitpicking really, but I would suggest using linters, e.g. https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint - sometimes annoying, but mostly just helps to avoid discussions like this (and plethora of bugs).

You should always use golangci-lint, which includes errcheck.

golangci lint - https://golangci-lint.run/

Code inspection golangci-lint

I disagree with at least half of your post, tooling in Go is amazing overall and there is one linter that pretty much every one is using: https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint

In the roadmap section[1] the author says it's more of an experiment with a possibility that some of the rules might end up in the original 'gofmt' tool. While I agree that Go having a de facto formatter built in is wonderful, there are some absolutely fantastic additions in 'gofumpt' that I do hope wind up in 'gofmt'

I am the author of go-global-update, the missing command to update globally installed go executables (like gofumpt, gopls, gotop, and other CLI tools you may have installed globally in your system - in your GOBIN directory).

I think that the one tool that might still be useful outside of gopls is goimports. It can be used as a gofmt replacement, that also automatically manages and removes imports. Gopls can integrate staticcheck and gofumpt, but my understanding is that they have to be installed manually. See the settings section for more on that(1).

I use gofumpt but I'm pretty sure it doesn't wrap either (and I don't want it to so we're good)

Thats why things like gofumpt make sense.
