Uber Go Style Guide is a style guide that documents patterns and conventions for writing Go code.
The guide addresses the need for consistent coding standards across Go projects by capturing the patterns and conventions that Uber uses internally in its own Go codebases. It serves as a reference document that teams can adopt to maintain uniformity in code style, naming, structure, and best practices specific to the Go language.
Teams adopting this guide should do so if they value alignment with practices used at scale in a large technology organization, or if they want an established reference point for Go conventions beyond the language's own documentation. The guide suits projects where multiple developers collaborate and consistency matters, or teams building on Go at Uber who need a shared standard. The guide does not position itself against alternatives; it presents itself as a distillation of Uber's own internal practices rather than as a comparison to other style guides.
The project has attracted translations into numerous languages maintained by the Go community, indicating sustained interest and engagement with the material beyond its original English form.
