forcealias

Note

It seems like there's already a linter that does that, which I couldn't find during the development, so use that one instead. importas

forcealias is a Go static analysis tool that enforces specific import aliases in your codebase. It's especially useful for large projects or teams that want to maintain consistent import aliasing practices.

Features

• Enforce specific aliases for imports
• Optionally ignore dot (.) and underscore (_) imports
• TODO: golangci-lint integration

Usage

While it can be used as a standalone linter, do we recommend use it with golangci-lint. (when we add it there, haha)

Standalone

Installation

You can install it via go install:
