golangci-lint

brew install golangci-lint v2.12.2 GPL-3.0-only

Fast linter aggregator for Go that runs multiple linters in parallel with unified output.

Why you might care

Golangci-lint consolidates dozens of Go linters (golint, errcheck, go-vet, gofmt, etc.) into a single command with caching, parallel execution, and consistent formatting. It's the standard in Go CI/CD pipelines and development workflows, faster than running linters individually and easier to configure than managing them separately.
