lint2hub automates creating GitHub pull request review comments in response to code linters. While other solutions exist, lint2hub is both free software and not tied to any specific linter.
lint2hub is both a command line tool and a go client for commenting on pull requests diffs.
export LINT2HUB_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN="abc123"

-pull-request 1234 \
-sha "adc83b19e793491b1c6ea0fd8b46cd9f32e592fc" \
-file "foo.go" \
-line 8 \
-body "exported method Foo.Bar should have comment or be unexported"lint2hub can also accept linter output from standard input, parsed with a custom regular expression to extract file, line and comment body. For instance, to pipe gometalinter:
gometalinter ./... |
lint2hub -owner alindeman \
-repo lint2hub \
-pull-request 1234 \
