## Editor Integration

1. [Go for Visual Studio Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.Go).
   Recommended settings for VS Code are:

   ```json
   "go.lintTool":"golangci-lint",
   "go.lintFlags": [
     "--fast"
   ]
   ```

   Using it in an editor without `--fast` can freeze your editor.
   Golangci-lint automatically discovers `.golangci.yml` config for edited file: you don't need to configure it in VS Code settings.

2. Sublime Text - [plugin](https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter-golangcilint) for SublimeLinter.
3. GoLand
   - Install [plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12496-go-linter)
   - Add [File Watcher](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/go/settings-tools-file-watchers.html) using existing `golangci-lint` template.
   - If your version of GoLand does not have the `golangci-lint` [File Watcher](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/go/settings-tools-file-watchers.html) template you can configure your own and use arguments `run --disable=typecheck $FileDir$`.
4. GNU Emacs
   - [Spacemacs](https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/layers/+lang/go/README.org#linting)
   - [flycheck checker](https://github.com/weijiangan/flycheck-golangci-lint).
5. Vim
   - [vim-go](https://github.com/fatih/vim-go)
   - syntastic [merged pull request](https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic/pull/2190) with golangci-lint support
   - ale [merged pull request](https://github.com/w0rp/ale/pull/1890) with golangci-lint support
6. Atom - [go-plus](https://atom.io/packages/go-plus) supports golangci-lint.

## Shell Completion

`golangci-lint` can generate bash completion file.

### macOS

There are two versions of `bash-completion`, v1 and v2. V1 is for Bash 3.2 (which is the default on macOS), and v2 is for Bash 4.1+. The `golangci-lint` completion script doesn’t work correctly with bash-completion v1 and Bash 3.2. It requires bash-completion v2 and Bash 4.1+. Thus, to be able to correctly use `golangci-lint` completion on macOS, you have to install and use Bash 4.1+ ([instructions](https://itnext.io/upgrading-bash-on-macos-7138bd1066ba)). The following instructions assume that you use Bash 4.1+ (that is, any Bash version of 4.1 or newer).

Install `bash-completion v2`:

```bash
brew install bash-completion@2
echo 'export BASH_COMPLETION_COMPAT_DIR="/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d"' >>~/.bashrc
echo '[[ -r "/usr/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh" ]] && . "/usr/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh"' >>~/.bashrc
exec bash # reload and replace (if it was updated) shell
type _init_completion && echo "completion is OK" # verify that bash-completion v2 is correctly installed
```

Add `golangci-lint` bash completion:

```bash
echo 'source <(golangci-lint completion bash)' >>~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```

### Linux

See [kubectl instructions](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#enabling-shell-autocompletion) and don't forget to replace `kubectl` with `golangci-lint`.
