| # Go Tools | |
| [](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/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 install`. | |
| 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 install golang.org/x/tools/...@latest`. | |
| ## 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. | |
| ## Report Issues / Send Patches | |
| This repository uses Gerrit for code changes. To learn how to submit changes to | |
| this repository, see https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html. | |
| The main issue tracker for the tools repository is located at | |
| https://github.com/golang/go/issues. Prefix your issue with "x/tools/(your | |
| subdir):" in the subject line, so it is easy to find. |
