Golang: Format Source Code

By Xah Lee. Date: .

The command line tool gofmt, bundled with golang, reformat your go source code to a standard format.

Run it in terminal like this:

gofmt fileName

For example

before: 

package main; import "fmt"; func main() {
var x = "John"; var y = 36; fmt.Printf("name is %v, age is %v\n", x, y); }

After: 

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	var x = "John"
	var y = 36
	fmt.Printf("name is %v, age is %v\n", x, y)
}
