Go fmt on a whole source tree

Question

I have a project currently organized something like this:

~/code/go
         /bin
         /pkg
         /src
             /proj/main.go
                  /some_packa         


        

Answer 1

You can use three dots (...) as a wildcard. So for example, the following command will format all github.com packages:

go fmt github.com/...

This wildcard also works with other go commands like go list, go get and so. There is no need to remember such an ugly find command.
