The Go Doctor

⚠️ Deprecated — this project is no longer actively maintained.

gopls — the official Go language server maintained by the Go team — has superseded the Go Doctor. It provides equivalent (and more) refactoring functionality and is actively developed. New users should use gopls; existing users are encouraged to migrate.

The source remains available here for historical reference. The previous project website at gorefactor.org is being retired. The user manual and install guide are now hosted via GitHub Pages: https://godoctor.github.io/godoctor/
