Development

Common Commands

make build
make lint
make test
make test-coverage
make install
make clean

make build creates a local retrogolint binary from ./cmd/retrogolint.

Before tagging a release, run:

go fmt ./...
make lint
make test
go vet ./...
go run ./cmd/retrogolint ./...

The repository includes .retrogolint.ini to exclude intentional fixtures in testdata.

The version, commit, and build date are injected at build time via ldflags in the Makefile:

-X main.version=$(VERSION) -X main.commit=$(COMMIT) -X main.date=$(DATE)

VERSION defaults to the output of git describe --tags --always --dirty. Print the version with:

retrogolint -version
