Go Meta Linter is a deprecated Go meta-linter that was created to run many Go static analysis tools at the same time. It normalizes their results into one consistent output format so editors, IDEs, and CI systems can read problems more easily. The tool helps developers catch issues such as unused code, unchecked errors, duplicated code, style problems, security concerns, and suspicious compiler-level behavior. It supports a broad collection of linters and lets users customize which checks run for each project. It can also be configured through a JSON file, which makes it easier to share linting rules across a team. Although the project is archived and users are directed toward golangci-lint, it remains a useful example of early Go lint aggregation.
