Go (golang) Report Card project/service was archived on Jul 1, 2026

The Go Report Card project, which grades Go language projects based on code quality checks, was archived on July 1, 2026, by its owner. The repository is now read-only and no longer maintained.

Background

- Go Report Card (goreportcard) was a popular open-source web service that analyzed Go source code repositories and gave them a letter grade (A–F) based on code quality metrics like style, test coverage, gofmt compliance, and common mistakes. It was widely used by Go developers to showcase project quality in README badges. - The project was archived (made read-only) by its maintainers, meaning no further updates or bug fixes will be made. This happened because Go's tooling ecosystem has evolved significantly—tools like `staticcheck`, `golangci-lint`, and `go vet` now cover much of what Go Report Card did, making the service less essential. - The repository will remain publicly available for reference, but the hosted service (goreportcard.com) may become unreliable or shut down over time.
