How to Install GolangCI on EndeavourOS

GolangCI is a language-independent Continuous Integration (CI) tool that is used for automated checking of Go code. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing GolangCI on EndeavourOS.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

Basic knowledge of Linux commands.
A running EndeavourOS system.
A web browser (optional).

Step 1: Install Golang

To install GolangCI, you need to first install Go programming language. To do this, follow the steps below:
