From the User Commands section, obviously. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gofmt — formats Go code. That's it. That's the whole job. And she ate. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gofmt [flags] [path]...

Flags first, then a bunch of paths. Slay.</purl>

oops — paths, plural, and the ... is fr fr doing the most. You can hand her as many as you want, bestie. 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so. gofmt is a tool for formatting Go source code. That's the vibe. That's the whole main character arc. 🌈

And if you want the full documentation — like, the deep lore, the extended cut, the director's commentary — you run:

gofmt -help

or you go peek at http://golang.org/cmd/gofmt 👑 (the link is literally in the original, don't @ me).

No cap, that's everything the page gives you. It's giving minimal. It's giving mysterious. It's giving "she doesn't need to explain herself." 💜

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

  • go(1) — yeah, her big sibling. The whole go tool. Go say hi. 🦋
🌸 cute lil PSA: this page is short on purpose. Anything more detailed lives behind gofmt -help or that URL. Don't come for me, I'm just the messenger. 😭

And that's the whole page, bestie!! Written under the Go umbrella — the source is Go, the date on it is January 2015, and the manual name it lives under is gofmt(1). Format your code, hydrate, and go to bed at a reasonable hour. Periodt. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶🔥👑🌈⭐💀🙈🍓🧚💜
