## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

go-critic is an opinionated static-analysis linter for Go source code. It collects diagnostics, style checks, performance checks, and experimental rules that are often missing from smaller, single-purpose Go linters.

### Projektgeschichte

The go-critic repository was created in 2018 and the project was announced that year as both a linter and a sandbox for prototyping static-analysis ideas. Its documentation describes project goals around providing useful checks, proving check implementations before proposing them elsewhere, and keeping useful checks that lack a better home.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

go-critic became part of the broader Go linting ecosystem through direct CLI use and through golangci-lint, whose go-critic entry exposes it as `gocritic`. The repository README tells most users that using go-critic under golangci-lint is enough, reflecting its role as a specialized checker set inside larger lint pipelines.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Practitioners run `go-critic check` against packages, directories, or files, enabling and disabling individual checks or tag groups such as diagnostic, style, performance, experimental, opinionated, and security. The CLI also includes `doc` for checker documentation and checker-specific parameters, which makes it useful both as a standalone audit tool and as a source of extra rules in CI.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package catalogs, go-critic represents the Go ecosystem's preference for composable command-line analyzers. It can be installed as a small binary, run directly, or consumed by a linter runner, which lets distributions package it without owning editor or CI integration logic.

### Zeitleiste
