-      your text editor to write a good message instead of `git commit -am`)

-### Go Style Guide
-
-* Run `gofmt` over your code to automatically resolve a lot of style issues. Most editors support this running
-  automatically when saving a code file.
-* Run `go lint` and `go vet` on your code too to catch any other issues.
-* Follow this guide on some good practice and idioms for Go -  https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments
