It's the official GitHub action forgolangci-lint from its authors.The action runsgolangci-lint and reports issues from linters.
v5.0.0+removesskip-pkg-cacheandskip-build-cachebecause the cache related to Go itself is already handled byactions/setup-go.v4.0.0+requires an explicitactions/setup-goinstallation step before using this action:uses: actions/setup-go@v5.Theskip-go-installationoption has been removed.v2.0.0+works withgolangci-lintversion >=v1.28.3v1.2.2is deprecated due to we forgot to change the minimum version ofgolangci-linttov1.28.3(issue)v1.2.1works withgolangci-lintversion >=v1.14.0(issue)
Add.github/workflows/golangci-lint.yml with the following contents:

We recommend running this action in a job separate from other jobs (go test, etc)because different jobsrun in parallel.
If you need to run linters for specific operating systems, you will need to use the action>=v2. Here is a sample configuration file:
name:golangci-linton:push:branches: -master -mainpull_request:permissions:contents:read# Optional: allow read access to pull request. Use with `only-new-issues` option.# pull-requests: readjobs:golangci:strategy:matrix:go:['1.21']os:[macos-latest, windows-latest]name:lintruns-on:${{ matrix.os }}steps: -uses:actions/checkout@v4 -uses:actions/setup-go@v5with:go-version:${{ matrix.go }}cache:false -name:golangci-lintuses:golangci/golangci-lint-action@v4with:# Require: The version of golangci-lint to use.# When `install-mode` is `binary` (default) the value can be v1.2 or v1.2.3 or `latest` to use the latest version.# When `install-mode` is `goinstall` the value can be v1.2.3, `latest`, or the hash of a commit.version:v1.54# Optional: working directory, useful for monorepos# working-directory: somedir# Optional: golangci-lint command line arguments.## Note: by default the `.golangci.yml` file should be at the root of the repository.# The location of the configuration file can be changed by using `--config=`# args: --timeout=30m --config=/my/path/.golangci.yml --issues-exit-code=0# Optional: show only new issues if it's a pull request. The default value is `false`.# only-new-issues: true# Optional:The mode to install golangci-lint. It can be 'binary' or 'goinstall'.# install-mode: "goinstall"
You will also likely need to add the following.gitattributes file to ensure that line endings for Windows builds are properly formatted:
*.go text eol=lfCurrently, GitHub parses the action's output and createsannotations.
The restrictions of annotations are the following:
- Currently, they don't support markdown formatting (see thefeature request)
- They aren't shown in the list of comments like it was withgolangci.com. If you would like to have comments - please, up-votethe issue.
To enable annotations, you need to add the `checks' permission to your action.
permissions:# Required: allow read access to the content for analysis.contents:read# Optional: allow read access to pull request. Use with `only-new-issues` option.pull-requests:read# Optional: Allow write access to checks to allow the action to annotate code in the PR.checks:write
The action was implemented with performance in mind:
- We cache data by@actions/cache between builds: golangci-lint analysis cache.
- We don't use Docker because image pulling is slow.
- We do as much as we can in parallel, e.g. we download cache, and golangci-lint binary in parallel.
For example, in a repository ofgolangci-lint running this action without the cache takes 50s, but with cache takes 14s:
- in parallel:
- 4s to restore 50 MB of cache
- 1s to find and install
golangci-lint
- 1s to run
golangci-lint(it takes 35s without cache)
We use JavaScript-based action. We don't use Docker-based action because:
- docker pulling is slow currently
- it's easier to use caching from@actions/cache
We support different platforms, such asubuntu,macos, andwindows withx32 andx64 archs.
Inside our action, we perform 3 steps:
- Setup environment running in parallel:
- restorecache of previous analyses
- fetchaction config and find the latest
golangci-lintpatch versionfor needed version (users of this action can specify only minor version ofgolangci-lint). After that installgolangci-lint using@actions/tool-cache
- Run
golangci-lintwith specified by userargs - Save cache for later builds
- We save and restore the following directories:
~/.cache/golangci-lint,~/.cache/go-build,~/go/pkg. - The primary caching key looks like
golangci-lint.cache-{interval_number}-{go.mod_hash}. Interval number ensures that we periodically invalidateour cache (every 7 days).go.modhash ensures that we invalidate the cache early - as soon as dependencies have changed. - We userestore keys:
golangci-lint.cache-{interval_number}-. GitHub matches keys by prefix if we have no exact match for the primary cache.
This scheme is basic and needs improvements. Pull requests and ideas are welcome.
- Installact
- Make a symlink for
actto work properly:ln -s . golangci-lint-action - Prepare deps once:
npm run prepare-deps - Run
npm run localafter any change to test it
