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

If you use gofmt instead of go fmt, it's recursive. For example, following command

gofmt -s -w .

(notice the little dot at end) recursively formats, simplifies, and saves result into every file under current directory. I have a shell alias gf defined as gofmt -s -w . and find it quite handy.

Try gofmt -l . (list files whose formatting differs from gofmt's) first if you want :-)
