Golintci is a linter for Go source code with additions for doing CI
I'm not. However I do want an environment with an enforced style and therefore when using CI - you want to go over an entire project and ignore some files (like stuff generated with stringer). It seems a bad layout to separate structs/generated code all the time and ignore things by entire package.
The idea here isn't to go against the Gold standard definitions in upstream. It's more that in a build environment it makes sense to enforce style across a team.
go get -u github.com/leepa/lintci/golintci
Invoke golintci with one or more filenames, a directory, or a package named
by its import path. Golint uses the same
import path syntax as
the go command and therefore
also supports relative import paths like ./.... Additionally the ...
wildcard can be used as suffix on relative and absolute file paths to recurse
into them.
The output of this tool is a list of suggestions in Vim quickfix format, which is accepted by lots of different editors.
Golint differs from gofmt. Gofmt reformats Go source code, whereas golint prints out style mistakes.
Golint differs from govet. Govet is concerned with correctness, whereas golint is concerned with coding style. Golint is in use at Google, and it seeks to match the accepted style of the open source Go project.
The suggestions made by golint are exactly that: suggestions. Golint is not perfect, and has both false positives and false negatives. Do not treat its output as a gold standard.

Add this to your ~/.vimrc:
set rtp+=$GOPATH/src/github.com/golang/lint/misc/vim
If you have multiple entries in your GOPATH, replace $GOPATH with the right value.
Running :Lint will run golint on the current file and populate the quickfix list.
Optionally, add this to your ~/.vimrc to automatically run golint on :w
autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.go execute 'Lint' | cwindow
Add this to your .emacs file:
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat (getenv "GOPATH") "/src/github.com/golang/lint/misc/emacs"))
(require 'golint)
If you have multiple entries in your GOPATH, replace $GOPATH with the right value.
Running M-x golint will run golint on the current file.
