The maintainer documentation frames it as a companion to gofmt and goimports, which deliberately do not solve line wrapping for developers. ### Projektgeschichte Segment created golines to automate a style preference common in large Go codebases: reducing very long lines without abandoning gofmt. The README links the motivation to Go issue 11915 and notes that line-shortening remains developer-managed in the standard formatter. The tool evolved with options for maximum line length, tab width, dry-run diffs, comment shortening, base formatter selection, generated-file handling, method-chain splitting, and struct-tag formatting. Since v0.10.0 it required Go 1.18 because of generics-related dependencies; v0.13.0 raised the minimum to Go 1.23. The README records a maintenance turn: by late 2024 the project was in maintenance mode, and on 2025-12-19 the Segment repository was archived. The same notice points to a golangci-maintained fork that incorporated patches and fixes. ### Adoptionsgeschichte golines gained a niche among Go developers who wanted automatic line wrapping in editors or pre-commit hooks while preserving gofmt-compatible output. The README documents vim-go, Visual Studio Code run-on-save, and GoLand file watcher integration. The batch input records Homebrew, MacPorts, and Nix packages. That packaging profile fits a formatter users expect to install as a standalone command and wire into editor save hooks. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users run `golines [paths]`, pass directories or files, or pipe input through stdin. By default it writes formatted output to stdout; `-w` edits files in place. The base formatter defaults to goimports when available and falls back to gofmt, so golines is usually an additive formatter step rather than a replacement for the Go formatting toolchain. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren For package nerds, golines is interesting because it packages a policy that Go intentionally leaves out of gofmt. It is small, editor-friendly, and controversial in the quiet formatter way: valuable for teams with line-length standards, unnecessary for teams that accept gofmt's non-wrapping behavior. Its archive notice and golangci fork also make it a useful example of formatter lifecycle management: once a developer tool becomes part of save hooks and CI, packagers need to care about maintenance status, Go version requirements, and successor forks. ### Zeitleiste - 2019: `segmentio/golines` repository created for Go line-wrapping formatting. - 2020-2024: Releases add formatter behavior and editor integration patterns around gofmt/goimports. - 2024: README states the project had functionally entered maintenance mode. - 2025: Segment repository archived; README points to a golangci-maintained fork. ### Related projects - gofmt and goimports are the base formatting tools golines builds around. - The Go issue about shortening long lines is part of the stated motivation. - The golangci/golines fork is the maintainer-recommended continuation after the Segment archive notice. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** golines - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - golines: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/go/golines/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - golines: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: devel/golines/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/de/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/de/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://pkg.so/de/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [shfmt](https://pkg.so/de/brew/shfmt/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, formatter, go. - [yamlfmt](https://pkg.so/de/brew/yamlfmt/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, formatter, go. - [gofumpt](https://pkg.so/de/brew/gofumpt/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, formatter, go. - [goimports](https://pkg.so/de/brew/goimports/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, formatter, go. - [rubyfmt](https://pkg.so/de/brew/rubyfmt/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, code-formatting, developer-tools, formatter. - [ormolu](https://pkg.so/de/brew/ormolu/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, code-formatting, developer-tools, formatter. - [typstyle](https://pkg.so/de/brew/typstyle/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, code-formatting, developer-tools, formatter. - [gci](https://pkg.so/de/brew/gci/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, formatter, go. - [dockerfmt](https://pkg.so/de/brew/dockerfmt/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
