INTRO                                                                *go-intro*

Go (golang) support for Vim. vim-go installs automatically all necessary
binaries for providing seamless Vim integration.  It comes with pre-defined
sensible settings (like auto gofmt on save), has autocomplete, snippet
support, improved syntax highlighting, go toolchain commands, etc... It's
highly customizable and each individual feature can be disabled/enabled
easily.

  * Improved Syntax highlighting with items such as Functions, Operators, Methods.
  * Auto completion support via `gocode`
  * Better `gofmt` on save, which keeps cursor position and doesn't break your undo
    history
  * Go to symbol/declaration with `:GoDef`
  * Look up documentation with `:GoDoc` inside Vim or open it in browser
  * Automatically import packages via `:GoImport` or plug it into autosave
  * Compile your package with `:GoBuild`, install it with `:GoInstall` or test
    them with `:GoTest` (also supports running single tests via `:GoTestFunc`)
  * Quickly execute your current file/files with `:GoRun`
  * Automatic `GOPATH` detection based on the directory structure (i.e. `gb`
    projects, `godep` vendored projects)
  * Change or display `GOPATH` with `:GoPath`
  * Create a coverage profile and display annotated source code in to see
    which functions are covered with `:GoCoverage`
  * Call `gometalinter` with `:GoMetaLinter`, which invokes all possible linters
    (golint, vet, errcheck, deadcode, etc..) and shows the warnings/errors
  * Lint your code with `:GoLint`
  * Run your code through `:GoVet` to catch static errors
  * Advanced source analysis tools utilizing guru, such as `:GoImplements`,
    `:GoCallees`, and `:GoReferrers`
  * Precise type-safe renaming of identifiers with `:GoRename`
  * List all source files and dependencies
  * Unchecked error checking with `:GoErrCheck`
  * Integrated and improved snippets, supporting `ultisnips` or `neosnippet`
  * Share your current code to [play.golang.org](http://play.golang.org) with `:GoPlay`
  * On-the-fly type information about the word under the cursor. Plug it into
    your custom vim function.
  * Go asm formatting on save
  * Tagbar support to show tags of the source code in a sidebar with `gotags`
  * Custom vim text objects such as `a function` or `inner function`
  * A async launcher for the go command is implemented for neovim, fully async
    building and testing.
  * Integrated with the neovim terminal, launch `:GoRun` and other go commands
    in their own new terminal.
  * Alternate between implementation and test code with `:GoAlternate`

INSTALL                                                           *go-install*

Vim-go follows the standard runtime path structure, so I highly recommend to use
a common and well known plugin manager to install vim-go. Do not use vim-go with
other Go plugins. For Pathogen just clone the repo, for other plugin managers
add the appropriate lines and execute the plugin's install command.

*  https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen >

    git clone https://github.com/fatih/vim-go.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-go
<

*  https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug >

    Plug 'fatih/vim-go'

*  https://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim >

    NeoBundle 'fatih/vim-go'
<

*  https://github.com/gmarik/vundle >

    Plugin 'fatih/vim-go'

<
*  Manual >

    Copy all of the files into your `~/.vim` directory
<

Please be sure all necessary binaries are installed (such as `gocode`, `godef`,
`goimports`, etc..). You can easily install them with the included
|GoInstallBinaries| command. If you invoke it, all necessary binaries will be
automatically downloaded and installed to your `$GOBIN` environment (if not set
it will use `$GOPATH/bin`).  It requires `git` for fetching the individual Go
packages.

* Autocompletion is enabled by default via `<C-x><C-o>`, to get real-time
completion (completion by type) install:
https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplete.vim for Vim or
https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim and
https://github.com/zchee/deoplete-go for Neovim
* To get displayed source code tag informations on a sidebar install
https://github.com/majutsushi/tagbar.
* For snippet feature install:
https://github.com/Shougo/neosnippet.vim or
https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips.

COMMANDS                                                          *go-commands*

                                                                  *:GoPath*
:GoPath [path]

    GoPath sets and overrides GOPATH with the given {path}. If no {path} is
    given it shows the current GOPATH. If `""` is given as path, it clears
    current `GOPATH` which was set with |GoPath| and restores `GOPATH` back to
    the initial value which was sourced when Vim was started.

                                                                  *:GoImport*
:GoImport[!] [path]

    Import ensures that the provided package {path} is imported in the current
    Go buffer, using proper style and ordering. If {path} is already being
    imported, an error will be displayed and the buffer will be untouched.

    If [!] is given it will download the package with `go get`

                                                                *:GoImportAs*
:GoImportAs [localname] [path]

    Same as Import, but uses a custom local name for the package.

                                                                    *:GoDrop*
:GoDrop [path]

    Remove the import line for the provided package {path}, if present in the
    current Go buffer.  If {path} is not being imported, an error will be
    displayed and the buffer will be untouched.

                                                                    *:GoLint*
:GoLint [packages]

    Run golint for the current Go file, or for given packages.

                                                                     *:GoDoc*
:GoDoc [word]

    Open the relevant GoDoc in split window for either the word[s] passed to
    the command or by default, the word under the cursor.

                                                              *:GoDocBrowser*
:GoDocBrowser [word]

    Open the relevant GoDoc in browser for either the word[s] passed to the
    command or by default, the word under the cursor.

                                                                     *:GoFmt*
:GoFmt

    Filter the current Go buffer through gofmt.  It tries to preserve cursor
    position and avoids replacing the buffer with stderr output.

                                                                  *:GoImports*
:GoImports

    Filter the current Go buffer through goimports (needs to be installed).
    `goimports` automatically discards/add import path based on the code. Like
    |GoFmt|, It tries to preserve cursor position and avoids replacing the
    buffer with stderr output.

                                                                     *:GoPlay*
:[range]GoPlay

    Share snippet to play.golang.org. If no [range] is given it shares
    the whole file, otherwise the selected lines are shared. Snippet URL
    is copied to system clipboard if Vim is compiled with 'clipboard' or
     'xterm-clipboard' otherwise it's get yanked into the `""` register.

                                                                     *:GoVet*
:GoVet[!] [options]

    Run `go vet` for the directory under your current file. Vet examines Go
    source code and reports suspicious constructs, such as Printf calls whose
    arguments do not align with the format string. Vet uses heuristics that do not
    guarantee all reports are genuine problems, but it can find errors not caught
    by the compilers.

    You may optionally pass any valid go tool vet flags/options. In this case,
    `go tool vet` is run in place of `go vet`. For a full list please see
    `go tool vet -h`.

    If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to.

                                                                     *:GoDef*
:GoDef [identifier]
gd
CTRL-]

    Goto declaration/definition for the given [identifier]. If no argument is
    given, it will jump to the declaration under the cursor. By default the
    CTRL-] key and the mapping `gd` are enabled to invoke :GoDef for the
    identifier under the cursor. See |g:go_def_mapping_enabled| to disable them.

    vim-go also keeps a per-window location stack, roughly analagous to how
    vim's internal |tags| functionality works. This is pushed to every time a
    jump is made using the GoDef functionality. In essence, this is a LIFO list
    of file locations you have visited with :GoDef that is retained to help you
    navigate software. For more information on displaying the stack, see
    |:GoDefJump|

                                                                *:GoDefStack*
:GoDefStack [number]

    This command Jumps to a given location in the jumpstack, retaining all other
    entries. Jumps to non-existent entries will print an informative message,
    but are otherwise a noop.

    If no argument is given, it will print out an interactive list of all items
    in the stack. Its output looks like this:

      1 /path/to/first/file.go|1187 col 16|AddThing func(t *Thing)
    > 2 /path/to/thing/thing.go|624 col 19|String() string
      3 /path/to/thing/thing.go|744 col 6|func Sprintln(a ...interface{}) string

    This list shows the identifiers that you jumped to and the file and cursor
    position before that jump.  The older jumps are at the top, the newer at the
    bottom.

    The '>' points to the active entry.  This entry and any newer entries below
    it will be replaced if |:GoDef| is done from this location. The CTRL-t and
    |:GoDefPop| command will jump to the position above the active entry.

    Jumps to non-existent entries will print an informative message, but are
    otherwise a noop.

                                                            *:GoDefStackClear*
:GoDefStackClear 

    Clears the current stack list and resets it.

                                                                  *:GoDefPop*
:GoDefPop [count]
CTRL-t

    Navigate to the [count] earlier entry in the jump stack, retaining the newer
    entries. If no argument is given, it will jump to the next most recent entry
    (`:GoDefPop 1`).  If [count] is greater than the number of prior entries,
    an error will be printed and no jump will be performed.

    If you have used :GoDefPop to jump to an earlier location, and you issue
    another :GoDef command, the current entry will be replaced, and all newer
    entries will be removed, effectively resuming the stack at that location.

    By default [count]CTRL-t is enabled to invoke :GoDefPop.  Similarly, hitting
    CTRL-t without a prior count is equivalent to `:GoDefPop 1`.  See
    |g:go_def_mapping_enabled| to disable this.

                                                                     *:GoRun*
:GoRun[!] [expand]

    Build and run your current main package. By default all main files for the
    current file is used. If an argument is passed, 'expand' is used as file
    selector. For example use `:GoRun %` to select the current file only.

    You may optionally pass any valid go run flags/options. For a full list
    please see `go help run`.

    If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to.

    If using neovim then `:GoRun` will run in a new terminal according to
    |g:go_term_mode|.

                                                                   *:GoBuild*
:GoBuild[!] [expand]

    Build your package with `go build`. Errors are populated in the quickfix
    window. It automatically builds only the files that depends on the current
    file. `:GoBuild` doesn't produce a result file.
    Use 'make' to create a result file.

    You may optionally pass any valid go build flags/options. For a full list
    please see `go help build`. Options are expanded with 'expand'.

    If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to.

    If using neovim then this command is fully async, it does not block the
    UI.

                                                                   *:GoGenerate*
:GoGenerate[!] [expand]

    Creates or updates your auto-generated source files by running `go
    generate`.

    You may optionally pass any valid go generate flags/options. For a full list
    please see `go help generate`. Options are expanded with 'expand'.

    If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to.

                                                                    *:GoInfo*
:GoInfo
    Show type information about the identifier under the cursor. For example
    putting it above a function call is going to show the full function
    signature. It uses gocode to get the type informations.


                                                                 *:GoInstall*

                                                                    *:GoTest*
:GoTest[!] [expand]

    Run the tests on your _test.go files via in your current directory. Errors
    are populated in the quickfix window.  If an argument is passed, 'expand'
    is used as file selector (useful for cases like `:GoTest ./...`).

    You may optionally pass any valid go test flags/options. For a full list
    please see `go help test`.

    GoTest timesout automatically after 10 seconds. To customize the timeout
    use |g:go_test_timeout|. This feature is disabled if any arguments are
    passed to the `:GoTest` command.

    If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to.

    If using neovim `:GoTest` will run in a new terminal or run asynchronously
    in the background according to |g:go_term_enabled|. You can set the mode of
    the new terminal with |g:go_term_mode|.

                                                              *:GoTestFunc*
:GoTestFunc[!] [expand]

    Runs :GoTest, but only on the single test function immediate to your
    cursor using 'go test's '-run' flag.

    Lookup is done starting at the cursor (including that line) moving up till
    a matching `func Test` pattern is found or top of file is reached. Search
    will not wrap around when at the top of the file.

    If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to.

    If using neovim `:GoTestFunc` will run in a new terminal or run asynchronously
    in the background according to |g:go_term_enabled|. You can set the mode of
    the new terminal with |g:go_term_mode|.

                                                              *:GoTestCompile*
:GoTestCompile[!] [expand]

    Compile your _test.go files via in your current directory. Errors are
    populated in the quickfix window.  If an argument is passed, 'expand' is
    used as file selector (useful for cases like `:GoTest ./...`). Useful to
    not run the tests and capture/fix errors before running the tests or to
    create test binary.

    If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to.

    If using neovim `:GoTestCompile` will run in a new terminal or run
    asynchronously in the background according to |g:go_term_enabled|. You can
    set the mode of the new terminal with |g:go_term_mode|.

                                                                *:GoCoverage*

                                                            *:GoGuruScope*
:GoGuruScope [pattern] [pattern2] ... [patternN]

    Changes the custom |g:go_guru_scope| setting and overrides it with the
    given package patterns. The custom scope is cleared (unset) if `""` is
    given as the only path. If no arguments is given it prints the current
    custom scope. Example patterns are: 
>
      golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru # a single package
      golang.org/x/tools/...      # all packages beneath dir
      ...                         # the entire workspace.
<
    Example usage, the following sets the scope to a `github.com/fatih/color`
    and to all packages under `golang.org/x/tools/`:
>
      :GoGuruScope github.com/fatih/color golang.org/x/tools/...
<
    The following sets it to the entire workspace:
>
      :GoGuruScope ...
<
    Under the hood, the patterns are all joined to a comma-separated list and
    passed to `guru`'s `-scope` flag.

                                                              *:GoCallees*
:GoCallees

    Show 'callees' relation for a selected package. A list of possible call
    targets for the type under the cursor (or selected package) is shown in a
    location list.

                                                              *:GoCallers*
:GoCallers

    Show 'callers' relation for a selected function. A list of possible
    callers for the selected function under the cursor is shown in a location
    list.

                                                              *:GoDescribe*
:GoDescribe

    Shows various properties of the selected syntax: its syntactic kind, its
    type (for an expression), its value (for a constant expression), its size,
    alignment, method set and interfaces (for a type), its declaration (for an
    identifier), etc. Almost any piece of syntax may be described, and the
    guru will try to print all the useful information it can.

                                                              *:GoCallstack*
:GoCallstack

    Shows 'callstack' relation for the selected function. An arbitrary path
    from the root of the callgraph to the selected function is shown in a
    location list. This may be useful to understand how the function is
    reached in a given program.

                                                              *:GoFreevars*
:GoFreevars

    Enumerates the free variables of the selection. “Free variables” is a
    technical term meaning the set of variables that are referenced but not
    defined within the selection, or loosely speaking, its inputs.

    This information is useful if you’re considering whether to refactor the
    selection into a function of its own, as the free variables would be the
    necessary parameters of that function.  It’s also useful when you want to
    understand what the inputs are to a complex block of code even if you
    don’t plan to change it.

                                                            *:GoChannelPeers*
:GoChannelPeers

    Shows the set of possible sends/receives on the channel operand of the
    selected send or receive operation; the selection must be a <- token.

    For example, visually select a channel operand in the form of:

      "done <- true"

    and call |GoChannelPeers| on it. It will show where it was allocated, and
    the sending and receiving endings.

                                                              *:GoReferrers*
:GoReferrers

    The referrers query shows the set of identifiers that refer to the same
    object as does the selected identifier, within any package in the analysis
    scope.

                                                              *:GoSameIds*
:GoSameIds

    Highlights all identifiers that are equivalent to the identifier under the
    cursor.

                                                          *:GoSameIdsClear*
:GoSameIdsClear

    Clears all SameIds highlights from a |:GoSameIds| call.

                                                              *:GoMetaLinter*
:GoMetaLinter [path]

    Calls the underlying `gometalinter` tool and displays all warnings and
    errors in the quickfix window. By default the following linters are
    enabled: "'vet', 'golint', 'errcheck'". This can be changed with the
    |g:go_metalinter_enabled| variable. To override the command completely use
    the variable |g:go_metalinter_command|. To override the maximum linters
    execution time use |g:go_metalinter_deadline| variable.

                                                             *:GoGuruTags*
:GoGuruTags [tags]

    Changes the custom |g:go_guru_tags| setting and overrides it with the
    given build tags. This command cooperate with GoReferrers command when
    there exist mulitiple build tags in your project, then you can set one
    of the build tags for GoReferrers to find more accurate.
    The custom build tags is cleared (unset) if `""` is given. If no arguments
    is given it prints the current custom build tags.

                                                                     *:AsmFmt*
:AsmFmt

    Filter the current Go asm buffer through asmfmt. It tries to preserve cursor
    position and avoids replacing the buffer with stderr output.


                                                                   *:GoAlternate*
:GoAlternate[!]

    Alternates between the implementation and test code. For example if in main.go,
    switch to main_test.go. Uses the |g:go_alternate_mode| setting as the command
    to open the file.

    If [!] is given then it switches to the new file even if it does not exist.

    If you would like to override the traditional commands for alternating, add
    the following to your .vimrc:
>
    augroup go
      autocmd!
      autocmd Filetype go command! -bang A call go#alternate#Switch(<bang>0, 'edit')
      autocmd Filetype go command! -bang AV call go#alternate#Switch(<bang>0, 'vsplit')
      autocmd Filetype go command! -bang AS call go#alternate#Switch(<bang>0, 'split')
    augroup END

                                                              *:GoDecls*
:GoDecls [file]
  
    Only enabled if `ctrlp.vim` is installed. If run shows all function and
    type declarations for the current file. If [file] is non empty it parses
    the given file. 
    By default `type` and `func` declarations are being showed. This can be
    changed via |g:go_decls_includes|, which accepts a comma delimited list of
    definitions. By default set to: `"func,type"`. Possible options are:
    `{func,type}`

                                                              *:GoDeclsDir*
:GoDeclsDir [dir]
  
    Only enabled if `ctrlp.vim` is installed. If run shows all function and
    type declarations for the current directory. If [dir] is given it parses
    the given directory.
    By default `type` and `func` declarations are being showed. This can be
    changed via |g:go_decls_includes|, which accepts a comma delimited list of
    definitions. By default set to: `"func,type"`. Possible options are:
    `{func,type}`

                                                              *:GoImpl*
:GoImpl [receiver] [interface]

    Generates method stubs for implementing an interface. If no arguments is
    passed it takes the identifier under the cursor to be the receiver and
    asks for the interface type to be generated. If used with arguments, the
    receiver and the interface needs to be specified. Example usages:
>
      :GoImpl f *Foo io.Writer
      :GoImpl T io.ReadWriteCloser
<

TEXT OBJECTS                                                 *go-text-objects*

vim-go comes with several custom |text-objects| that can be used to operate
upon regions of text. vim-go currently defines the following text objects:

                                               *go-v_af* *go-af*
af			      "a function", select contents from a function definition to the
               closing bracket. If |g:go_textobj_include_function_doc| is
               enabled it also includes the comment doc for a function
               declaration. This text-object also supports literal functions.

                                               *go-v_if* *go-if*
if            "inside a function", select contents of a function,
              excluding the function definition and the closing bracket. This
              text-object also supports literal functions


vim-go also defines the following text motion objects:

                                               *go-v_]]* *go-]]*
]]			      [count] forward to next function declaration. If 
              |g:go_textobj_include_function_doc| is enabled and if your 
              on a comment, it skips the function which the comment 
              belongs and forwards to the next function declaration.

                                               *go-v_[[* *go-[[*
[[            [count] backward to previous function declaration.



===============================================================================
FUNCTIONS                                                       *go-functions*

                                                  *go#jobcontrol#Statusline()*

Shows the status of a job running asynchronously. Can be used to plug into the
statusline. It works to show the status per package instead of per
file. Assume you have three files open, all belonging to the same package,
if the package build (`:GoBuild`) is successful, all statusline's will be empty
(means SUCCESS), if you it fails all file's statusline will show FAILED.

                                                      *go#complete#GetInfo()*

Returns the description of the identifer under the cursor. Can be used to plug
into the statusline. This function is also used for |g:go_auto_type_info|.

===============================================================================

Use this option to enable/disable passing the bang attribute to the mappings
|(go-build)|, |(go-run)|, etc..  When enabled it will jump to the first error
automatically (means it will NOT pass the bang attribute to the appropriate
command, i.e: (go-run) -> :GoRun ). Note, that calling this doesn't have any
affect on calling the commands manually. This setting is only useful for
changing the behaviour of our custom static mappings. By default it's enabled.

Use this option to enable fmt's experimental mode. This experimental mode is
superior to the current mode as it fully saves the undo history, so undo/redo
doesn't break. However it's slows (creates/deletes a file for every save) and
it's causing problems on some Vim versions. By default it's disabled. >

These options are Neovim only. Use them to control the height and width of
a terminal split. By default these are not set, meaning that the height and
width are set automatically by Neovim. The height only applies to a
horizontal split and width only applies to a vertical split.

This option is Neovim only. Use it to change the behavior of the test
commands. If set to 1 it opens the test commands inside a new terminal
according to |g:go_term_mode|, otherwise it will run them in the background
just like `:GoBuild` and then display the status with |go#jobcontrol#Statusline()|.

When a new Go file is created, vim-go automatically fills the buffer content
with a Go code template. By default the template under
`templates/hello_world.go` is used. This can be changed with the
|g:go_template_file| setting. 

If the new file is created in an already prepopulated package (with other Go
files), in this case a Go code template with only the Go package declaration
(which is automatically determined according to the current package) is added.

By default it is enabled.

TROUBLESHOOTING                                         *go-troubleshooting*

I'm using Fish shell but have some problems using vim-go~

First environment variables in Fish are applied differently, it should be like:
>
	set -x GOPATH /your/own/gopath
<
Second, Vim needs a POSIX compatible shell (more info here:
https://github.com/dag/vim-fish#teach-a-vim-to-fish). If you use Fish to open
Vim, it will make certain shell based commands fail (means vim-go will fail
too). To overcome this problem change the default shell by adding the
following into your .vimrc (on the top of the file):
>
	if $SHELL =~ 'fish'
	  set shell='/bin/sh'
	endif
<
or
>
	set shell='/bin/sh'
>

I'm seeing weird errors during installation of binaries with
GoInstallBinaries:

If you see errors like this:
>
  Error installing code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/goimports:
	Error installing code.google.com/p/rog-go/exp/cmd/godef:
<
that means your local Go setup is broken or the remote website is down.  For
example sometimes code.google.com times out. To test, just execute a simple go
get:

>
	go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/goimports
<
You'll see a more detailed error. If this works, vim-go will work too.
