Install goimports

Enhanced version of go fmt called goimports.

go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports@latest

To run it across a project:

goimports -l -w .

• The -l flat tells goimports to print the files with incorrect formatting to the console.
• The -w flag tells goimports to modify the files in-place.
• The . specifies the files to be scanned: everything in the current directory and all of its subdirectories.

go vet

Run go vet on your project with the command:

go vet ./...
