richgo
A Go tool that adds text decorations and colorization to `go test` output for improved readability.
What is richgo?
Richgo is a Go command-line tool that enriches the output of `go test` with text decorations, colors, and labels. It parses and styles test results to make them more readable and visually organized, helping developers quickly identify passes, failures, and skips. The tool addresses the plain, monochrome nature of standard Go test output.
Go developers who run tests frequently and want more visually distinct, scannable test output in their terminals. It's particularly useful for those working in complex projects with many tests.
Developers choose Richgo for its immediate improvement in test output readability without modifying test code. It offers extensive customization via YAML configs and integrates into existing workflows, though the author now suggests using pure `go test` for long-term compatibility.
