What is it?

Go Recipes is an awesome-style list of tools for Go projects, grouped by task: testing and coverage, dependency inspection, code visualization, code generation, refactoring, error handling, build and binary size, assembly inspection, execution, monitoring, benchmarking, documentation, security and static analysis. Each entry gives a short explanation of what the tool does and a runnable command or install line.

The list mixes widely used tools such as govulncheck, staticcheck, golangci-lint, gotestsum and benchstat with less common ones, for example goroutine leak detectors, struct layout optimizers and call graph visualizers. The examples are meant to be copied directly into a terminal or CI configuration.

It suits Go developers who want to find a tool for a specific job, such as checking coverage in pull requests, auditing dependency licenses, or profiling a service, without searching across many repositories.

Key features

  • 01Covers testing, dependency analysis, code generation, linting and profiling in one place.
  • 02Each entry includes a short description and a copy-ready command or install line.
  • 03Lists both mainstream tools and lesser-known options for specific problems.
  • 04Organized into a table of contents for browsing by task.

Use cases

  • Finding a coverage or test reporting tool to add to a CI pipeline.
  • Choosing a static analyzer or linter for a Go codebase.
  • Auditing dependency licenses, upgrade paths or vulnerabilities.
  • Profiling and benchmarking a Go service to locate bottlenecks.
