Projektgeschichte

richgo was created by kyoh86 to decorate and reorganize `go test` output. It wraps Go test execution, recognizes build, test, skip, coverage, file, and line output, and applies configurable styles.

The upstream author later added a notice explaining that they no longer personally use richgo and recommend improving or becoming accustomed to standard `go test` output, while leaving the project and its documentation available.

Adoptionsgeschichte

richgo has been distributed through Go tooling and package managers including Homebrew, Nix, and asdf. Its repository documents both direct Go installation and package-manager installation.

Wie es verwendet wird

Run `richgo test ./...` in place of `go test ./...`. For pipelines that require unmodified test output, pipe `go test` through `richgo testfilter`. YAML preference files named `.richstyle`, `.richstyle.yaml`, or `.richstyle.yml` customize labels, colors, coverage thresholds, and line removal.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

richgo represents a class of small developer-experience wrappers that became popular before Go's standard test output improved. Package maintainers may also note the upstream author's current recommendation to prefer plain `go test`, an unusual but useful lifecycle signal for an otherwise maintained package.

Zeitleiste

• 2016: Early public development and adoption as a colored `go test` wrapper.
• 2022: The README documented module-version inspection for Go 1.18-era binaries.
• 2026: The project remains available, although its author recommends using standard `go test` for new workflows.

Related projects

• Go's standard `go test` command is the underlying tool. The README also documents pipeline use with `go-junit-report` through the `testfilter` subcommand.
