About

This document contains style decisions intended to unify and provide standard guidance, explanations, and examples for the advice given by the Go readability mentors.

This document is not exhaustive and will grow over time. In cases where the core style guide contradicts the advice given here, the style guide takes precedence, and this document should be updated accordingly.

See the Overview for the full set of Go Style documents.
