| # Go Tools |
| |
| This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support |
| the Go programming language. |
| |
| Some of the tools, `godoc` and `vet` for example, are included in binary Go |
| distributions. |
| |
| Others, including the Go `guru` and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with |
| `go get`. |
| |
| Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the |
| Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs. |
| |
| ## Download/Install |
| |
| The easiest way to install is to run `go get -u golang.org/x/tools/...`. You can |
| also manually git clone the repository to `$GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools`. |
| |
| ## JS/CSS Formatting |

| This repository uses [prettier](https://prettier.io/) to format JS and CSS files. |
| |
| The version of `prettier` used is 1.18.2. |
| |
| It is encouraged that all JS and CSS code be run through this before submitting |
| a change. However, it is not a strict requirement enforced by CI. |
