 # go (golang) cheatsheet
 
+## tools and environment
+
+goimports manages your import lines and should be used instead of fmt, golangci-lint will tell you when you're doing silly things, and gotest will do the same thing as `go test` but with color output in terminal.
+
+```
+go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports
+go get github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.31.0
+go get -u github.com/rakyll/gotest
+```
+
+## code style
+
+* obviously, always gofmt
+* run golangci-lint
+
+## types and interfaces
+

+
 ## testing
 
 ### use testify
