Smacks of junior developer.
Pretty much. Once you get into the suck, you very quickly learn there isn't a standard beyond that which the project/org dictates.
Yeah, there is no standard.
I don't like this repo and I've been recommending people avoid it for years.
If you need examples, checkout the golang source code or kubernetes repo.

Unless you have a better reference that you can provide in place of this one, I don't think you're doing anyone any good.

No need to read anything pass the project title, it says "golang-standards". If it not standards, maybe change the project title ?

Isn't the Google Go style guide also supposed to be pretty decent.
