gofmt-git

DEPRECATION NOTICE

This repository fills a niche role that go fmt ./... occupies already. It was intended to save time in large repositories, but it's impact is minimal. Thus, it has been deprecated.

gofmt-git

Want to avoid formatting unchanged Go files? This CLI application formats Go files in a Git repository's worktree. You can execute this within any directory inside of the repository.

% git status -s
 M main.go
 M pkg/cmd/run.go
 M pkg/cmd.go

% gofmt-git
[+] main.go
[+] pkg/cmd/run.go
[=] pkg/cmd.go

Installation

Currently, the recommended method to obtain (and update) gofmt-git is to execute the following:

go get -u github.com/nickgerace/gofmt-git

If you would like upgrade it via automation, you can use the above command, or update all downloaded Go modules by executing the following:

go get -u all

Uninstallation

Delete gofmt-git from your GOBIN directory.

Limitations

This tool runs with the default settings of go fmt (e.g. go fmt <filename> or go fmt ./...). It does not offer any formatting options at this time.

Compatibility

gofmt-git should work on any primary platform that Go supports. Please file an issue if your platform is unsupported, or is not working as expected.
