WG Vet

Is a tool that does what go vet does, plus a few custom checks. It is useful for specific needs in a go dev shop. It's easy to extend.

Getting Started

Git hook

Prevent git commits from succeeding by placing this in ./.git/hooks/pre-commit:

#!/bin/sh

wgvet ./...

Github CI

You can have this run on every push with .github/workflows/vet.yml:

name: wgvet
run-name: vetting with wgvet
on: [push, workflow_dispatch]
jobs:
  vet:
