pre-commit-go

name: pre-commit-go description: Configure or update pre-commit for Go repos, including repo-pinned hooks for gofmt/staticcheck and brief README setup notes. Use when adding or switching to pre-commit hooks in Go projects.

Pre-Commit Go

Overview

Add or update .pre-commit-config.yaml for Go projects using repo-based hooks pinned to exact commit SHAs, with version comments for traceability.

Workflow

1. Pick hook repo(s). Prefer https://github.com/TekWizely/pre-commit-golang for Go tooling.
2. Select hook IDs:
   • go-fmt (add args: ["-w"] if auto-fixing is desired)
   • go-staticcheck-repo-mod for staticcheck ./... per module
3. Lock versions by setting rev to a commit SHA and add an inline # frozen: vX.Y.Z tag comment.
4. Keep README setup minimal:
   • pre-commit install
   • pre-commit run --all-files
5. Run pre-commit run --all-files to verify hooks.

Notes

• Pre-commit has no separate lock file; version pinning happens in .pre-commit-config.yaml via rev.
• Prefer repo-based hooks over local hooks; they avoid relying on locally installed binaries and make CI reproducible.

Example

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/TekWizely/pre-commit-golang
    rev: <commit-sha>  # frozen: vX.Y.Z
    hooks:
      - id: go-fmt
        args: ["-w"]
      - id: go-staticcheck-repo-mod
