+# Adding Golangci-lint as new supported tool – January 2026
+
+
+## golangci-lint (Client-side Go tool)
+
+We’re excited to announce support for [golangci-lint](https://golangci-lint.run/), a fast Go linters aggregator. With this addition, you can now run golangci-lint locally on your Go projects and upload the results to Codacy for analysis and reporting.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+- golangci-lint is a client-side tool: you install and run it locally in your environment.
+- Codacy acts as an uploader, collecting and displaying the results in your dashboard.
+- This approach gives you full control over the linter configuration and execution.
+
+**To get started:**
+
+1. [Install golangci-lint](https://golangci-lint.run/usage/install/) on your machine or CI environment.
+2. Run golangci-lint on your Go codebase to generate a report.
+3. Use Codacy’s uploader to send the results to your Codacy project.
+
+Refer to our documentation for detailed setup instructions.
+
+
+### Important Note
+
+This tool will not be enabled by default: Due to the potential volume of new issues reported, golangci-lint, is not enabled by default on existing repositories. You can enable them manually in your repository settings.
+
+If you have any questions or need help, please contact <mailto:[email protected]>.
