Binary Releases

For Mac OS or Linux, you can download a binary release here.

With Homebrew

brew install nakabonne/golintui/golintui

With Go

go get github.com/nakabonne/golintui

Note that go get downloads a bunch of dependencies on golangci-lint so can take a while to fully install.

With Docker

docker run --rm -i -t -v $(pwd):/app -w /app nakabonne/golintui:latest golintui

Requires: golangci-lint executable.

Be sure to change the CTYPE as shown below if your locale isn't en_US. The UI does not display well without it.

export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8

  r: run selected linters against the selected directories
  q: quit
  l: next panel
  h: previous panel
  j: move down
  k: move up

Linters Panel

Note that for users who specify disable-all in the config file for golangci-lint, it is impossible to disable linters that are enabled in it.

  space: toggle selected

It shows only new issues created after the commit you selected. Internally it just gives it on to --new-from-rev.

golintui refers to $EDITOR by default to open the problematic file. You can change the editor to your taste and habits by setting $GOLINTUI_OPEN_COMMAND.

For instance, for users of VSCode:

export GOLINTUI_OPEN_COMMAND="code -r"

• vim(vi)
• emacs
• VSCode

Please let me know how to open a file at a specific line if the editor you're used to is missing.
