golangci-lint config workflow
# Comments started with [!] are explanations of my workflow with golangci-lint.
# Another comments are real comments in my config.
# [!] Examine the https://golangci-lint.run/usage/configuration/ to know all possibilities.
run:
timeout: 5m
modules-download-mode: vendor # [!] if you are using vendoring
build-tags:
- integration # [!] If you disable code for integration tests to run all unit tests, enable it to lint all the same.
# [!] Linters are enabled manually. Disabled linters are commented and have comment about reason of disabling.
# [!] Linters disabled inside source code by //nolint should be specific and comments like this
# [!] //nolint:gocyclo // This legacy function is complex but the team too busy to simplify it.
# [!] (see also nolintlint settings).
#
# [!] During update version of golangci-lint do the following:
# [!] - add new linters to enable-list
# [!] - enable previously disabled linters if needed
# [!] - configure (see below) or disable new linters to be appropriate for your project

# TODOs and FIXMEs function as a big warning sign: "Beware! This code has

# editing. Or better fix the issues before implementing a new feature on
# top.". The idea of [`godox` comment
# extractor](https://github.com/766b/godox) seems to be different from
# the idea of [`godox` linter](https://github.com/matoous/godox). The
# first one lets you quickly browse through the code problems, while the
# second one asks you to remove that big warning sign in favor of tasks.
# Though tasks are great, they will not help you while editing.
