## Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
### `golangci-lint` vs `gometalinter`
|
||||
|
||||
GolangCI-Lint was created to fix the following issues with `gometalinter`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Slow work: `gometalinter` usually works for minutes in average projects.
|
||||
**GolangCI-Lint works [2-7x times faster](#performance)** by [reusing work](#internals).
|
||||
**GolangCI-Lint works [2-7x times faster](#performance)** by [reusing work](#internals).
|
||||
2. Huge memory consumption: parallel linters don't share the same program representation and can consume
|
||||
`n` times more memory (`n` - concurrency). GolangCI-Lint fixes it by sharing representation and **consumes 26% less memory**.
|
||||
`n` times more memory (`n` - concurrency). GolangCI-Lint fixes it by sharing representation and **consumes 26% less memory**.
|
||||
3. Doesn't use real bounded concurrency: if you set it to `n` it can take up to `n*n` threads because of
|
||||
forced threads in specific linters. `gometalinter` can't do anything about it because it runs linters as
|
||||
black boxes in forked processes. In GolangCI-Lint we run all linters in one process and completely control
|
||||
them. Configured concurrency will be correctly bounded.
|
||||
This issue is important because you often want to set concurrency to the CPUs count minus one to
|
||||
ensure you **do not freeze your PC** and be able to work on it while analyzing code.

|
||||
printing warning lines and showing the position in line**.

|
||||
5. Too many issues. GolangCI-Lint cuts a lot of issues by using default exclude list of common false-positives.
|
||||
By default, it has enabled **smart issues processing**: merge multiple issues for one line, merge issues with the
|
||||
same text or from the same linter. All of these smart processors can be configured by the user.

|
||||
6. Integration into large codebases. A good way to start using linters in a large project is not to fix a plethora
|
||||
of existing issues, but to set up CI and **fix only issues in new commits**. You can use `revgrep` for it, but it's
|
||||
yet another utility to install and configure. With `golangci-lint` it's much easier: `revgrep` is already built into

||||
`golangci-lint` and you can use it with one option (`-n, --new` or `--new-from-rev`).

|
||||
7. Installation. With `gometalinter`, you need to run a linters installation step. It's easy to forget this step and
|
||||
end up with stale linters. It also complicates CI setup. GolangCI-Lint requires **no installation of linters**.

## `golangci-lint` vs Running Linters Manually
|
||||
### `golangci-lint` vs Running Linters Manually
|
||||
|
||||
1. It will be much slower because `golangci-lint` runs all linters in parallel and shares 50-80% of linters work.
|
||||
2. It will have less control and more false-positives: some linters can't be properly configured without hacks.
|
||||
3. It will take more time because of different usages and need of tracking of versions of `n` linters.

The key difference with gometalinter is that golangci-lint shares work between specific linters (golint, govet, ...).

We don't fork to call specific linter but use its API.

For small and medium projects 50-90% of work between linters can be reused.

## False Positives
|

|

False positives are inevitable, but we did our best to reduce their count. For example, we have a default enabled set of [exclude patterns](#command-line-options). If a false positive occurred you have the following choices:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Exclude issue by text using command-line option `-e` or config option `issues.exclude`. It's helpful when you decided to ignore all issues of this type.
|
||||
2. Exclude this one issue by using special comment `//nolint[:linter1,linter2,...]` on issued line.
|
||||
Comment `//nolint` disables all issues reporting on this line. Comment e.g. `//nolint:govet` disables only govet issues for this line.

**How to use `golangci-lint` in CI (Continuous Integration)?**
|
||||
|
||||
You have 2 choices:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use [GolangCI](https://golangci.com): this service is highly integrated with GitHub (issues are commented in the pull request) and uses a `golangci-lint` tool. For configuration use `.golangci.yml` (or toml/json).
|
||||
2. Use custom CI: just run `golangci-lint` in CI and check the exit code. If it's non-zero - fail the build. The main disadvantage is that you can't see issues in pull request code and would need to view the build log, then open the referenced source file to see the context.
|
||||
|
||||
We don't recommend vendoring `golangci-lint` in your repo: you will get troubles updating `golangci-lint`. Please, use recommended way to install with the shell script: it's very fast.

To run golangci-lint execute:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
golangci-lint run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It's an equivalent of executing:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
golangci-lint run ./...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can choose which directories and files to analyze:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
golangci-lint run dir1 dir2/... dir3/file1.go
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Directories are NOT analyzed recursively. To analyze them recursively append `/...` to their path.
|
||||
|
||||
GolangCI-Lint can be used with zero configuration. By default the following linters are enabled:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ golangci-lint help linters
|
||||
{{.LintersCommandOutputEnabledOnly}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and the following linters are disabled by default:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ golangci-lint help linters
|
||||
...
|
||||
{{.LintersCommandOutputDisabledOnly}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Pass `-E/--enable` to enable linter and `-D/--disable` to disable:

## Comparison

|

### `golangci-lint` vs `gometalinter`
|
||||
|
||||
GolangCI-Lint was created to fix the following issues with `gometalinter`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Slow work: `gometalinter` usually works for minutes in average projects.
|
||||
**GolangCI-Lint works [2-7x times faster](#performance)** by [reusing work](#internals).
|
||||
**GolangCI-Lint works [2-7x times faster](#performance)** by [reusing work](#internals).
|
||||
2. Huge memory consumption: parallel linters don't share the same program representation and can consume
|
||||
`n` times more memory (`n` - concurrency). GolangCI-Lint fixes it by sharing representation and **consumes 26% less memory**.
|
||||
`n` times more memory (`n` - concurrency). GolangCI-Lint fixes it by sharing representation and **consumes 26% less memory**.
|
||||
3. Doesn't use real bounded concurrency: if you set it to `n` it can take up to `n*n` threads because of
|
||||
forced threads in specific linters. `gometalinter` can't do anything about it because it runs linters as
|
||||
black boxes in forked processes. In GolangCI-Lint we run all linters in one process and completely control
|
||||
them. Configured concurrency will be correctly bounded.
|
||||
This issue is important because you often want to set concurrency to the CPUs count minus one to
|
||||
ensure you **do not freeze your PC** and be able to work on it while analyzing code.

|

5. Too many issues. GolangCI-Lint cuts a lot of issues by using default exclude list of common false-positives.
|
||||
By default, it has enabled **smart issues processing**: merge multiple issues for one line, merge issues with the
|
||||
same text or from the same linter. All of these smart processors can be configured by the user.

|
||||
6. Integration into large codebases. A good way to start using linters in a large project is not to fix a plethora
|
||||
of existing issues, but to set up CI and **fix only issues in new commits**. You can use `revgrep` for it, but it's
|
||||
yet another utility to install and configure. With `golangci-lint` it's much easier: `revgrep` is already built into

||||
`golangci-lint` and you can use it with one option (`-n, --new` or `--new-from-rev`).

7. Installation. With `gometalinter`, you need to run a linters installation step. It's easy to forget this step and

||||
end up with stale linters. It also complicates CI setup. GolangCI-Lint requires **no installation of linters**.

### `golangci-lint` vs Running Linters Manually
|
||||
|
||||
1. It will be much slower because `golangci-lint` runs all linters in parallel and shares 50-80% of linters work.
|
||||
2. It will have less control and more false-positives: some linters can't be properly configured without hacks.
|
||||
3. It will take more time because of different usages and need of tracking of versions of `n` linters.

## Why golangci-lint is faster

### Why golangci-lint is faster
|
||||
|
||||
Golangci-lint directly calls linters (no forking) and reuses 80% of work by parsing program only once.

## Internals
|
||||
|
||||
1. Work sharing
|
||||
The key difference with gometalinter is that golangci-lint shares work between specific linters (golint, govet, ...).
|
||||
We don't fork to call specific linter but use its API.
|
||||
For small and medium projects 50-90% of work between linters can be reused.

|

* load `loader.Program` once

# Configuration
|

## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The config file has lower priority than command-line options. If the same bool/string/int option is provided on the command-line
|
||||
and in the config file, the option from command-line will be used.
|
||||
Slice options (e.g. list of enabled/disabled linters) are combined from the command-line and config file.
|
||||
|
||||
To see a list of enabled by your configuration linters:
|
||||
```

```bash

|

|

## Config File
|
||||
### Config File
|
||||
|
||||
GolangCI-Lint looks for config files in the following paths from the current working directory:
|
||||
- `.golangci.yml`
|
||||
- `.golangci.toml`
|
||||
- `.golangci.json`
|
||||
|
||||
* `.golangci.yml`
|
||||
* `.golangci.toml`
|
||||
* `.golangci.json`
|
||||
|
||||
GolangCI-Lint also searches for config files in all directories from the directory of the first analyzed path up to the root.
|
||||
To see which config file is being used and where it was sourced from run golangci-lint with `-v` option.

## False Positives
|
||||
|
||||
False positives are inevitable, but we did our best to reduce their count. For example, we have a default enabled set of [exclude patterns](#command-line-options). If a false positive occurred you have the following choices:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Exclude issue by text using command-line option `-e` or config option `issues.exclude`. It's helpful when you decided to ignore all issues of this type.
|
||||
2. Exclude this one issue by using special comment `//nolint[:linter1,linter2,...]` on issued line.
|
||||
Comment `//nolint` disables all issues reporting on this line. Comment e.g. `//nolint:govet` disables only govet issues for this line.
|
||||
If you would like to completely exclude all issues for some function prepend this comment

**How do you add a custom linter?**

**How to use `golangci-lint` in CI (Continuous Integration)?**
|
||||
|
||||
You have 2 choices:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use [GolangCI](https://golangci.com): this service is highly integrated with GitHub (issues are commented in the pull request) and uses a `golangci-lint` tool. For configuration use `.golangci.yml` (or toml/json).
|
||||
2. Use custom CI: just run `golangci-lint` in CI and check the exit code. If it's non-zero - fail the build. The main disadvantage is that you can't see issues in pull request code and would need to view the build log, then open the referenced source file to see the context.
|
||||
|
||||
We don't recommend vendoring `golangci-lint` in your repo: you will get troubles updating `golangci-lint`. Please, use recommended way to install with the shell script: it's very fast.

||||
**Does I need to run `go install`?**

Because the first run caches type information. All subsequent runs will be fast.

Usually this options is used during development on local machine and compilation was already performed.
