# Code Climate Golint Engine

`codeclimate-golint` is a Code Climate engine that wraps [Golint](https://github.com/golang/lint). You can run it on your command line using the Code Climate CLI, or on our hosted analysis platform.

Golint is a linter for Go code. Where as [Gofmt](https://www.github.com/codeclimate/codeclimate-gofmt) automatically reformats code, Golint suggests style issues that may need to be addressed.

### Installation

1. If you haven't already, [install the Code Climate CLI](https://github.com/codeclimate/codeclimate).
2. Add the following to yout Code Climate config:
  ```yaml
  plugins:
    golint:
      enabled: true
  ```
3. Run `codeclimate engines:install`
4. You're ready to analyze! Browse into your project's folder and run `codeclimate analyze`.

### Configuration

Like the `golint` binary, you can configure the minimum confidence threshold of
this engine: issues reported by `golint` must have a confidence value higher than
the threshold in order to be reported. The default value is `0.8`, the same as
`golint`: you can configure your own threshold in your `.codeclimate.yml`:

```yaml
plugins:
  golint:
    enabled: true
    config:
      min_confidence: 0.1
```

### Building

```console
make image
```
