Top 23 Go Linter Projects

This is such an infuriating problem. I'm convinced I'm using Go wrong, because I simply can't understand how this doesn't make it a toy language. Why the $expletive am I wasting 20-30 and more minutes per week of my life looking for the source of an error!?
Have you seen https://github.com/tomarrell/wrapcheck? It's a linter than does a fairly good job of warning when an error originates from an external package but hasn't been wrapped in your codebase to make it unique or stacktraced. It comes with https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint and can even be made part of your in-editor LSP diagnostics.
But still, it's not perfect. And so I remain convinced that I'm misunderstanding something fundamental about the language because not being able to consistently find the source of an error is such an egregious failing for a programming language.

And we also expect that the caller will check the error and handle it. There is a popular linter that checks it for us: errcheck.
-
Yep, actionlint is great! I've used it successfully both to lint my own workflows, and to lint third-party workflows for (basic) security issues.
Unfortunately, it can't lint actions themselves, only workflows that call actions[1]. This is a substantial deficiency, especially for users (like me) who write and maintain a decent number of actions.

I found a linter in go for sql https://github.com/houqp/sqlvet that uses the postgres front end to evaluate queries for syntactic errors and potential sql injection a while back and I now find even more confidence in my opinion that ORM is a waste of time.

They made the GitHub repo woke

Yup, the two most popular are:
https://github.com/certlint/certlint
They each have their strengths and weaknesses, so CAs are advised to use both.
