About:
gofumpt enforces a stricter set of formatting rules than the standard gofmt tool. It applies additional formatting conventions that are often recommended by Go experts but not included in the official specification. This results in more consistent and readable codebases across teams.
Key Features:
  • Stricter formatting rules than gofmt
  • Enforces additional Go style guidelines
  • Drop-in replacement for gofmt
  • Configurable via command-line flags
Use Cases:
  • Enforcing consistent code style across Go projects
  • Automated code formatting in CI/CD pipelines
  • Maintaining stricter formatting standards in teams
Alternatives:
  • gofmt – The official Go formatter, which gofumpt extends with stricter rules
  • goimports – Manages imports alongside formatting, while gofumpt focuses on style enforcement
