Using Arch-Go to test the quality of our architecture
summary
Arch-Go is a Go testing tool that reads a project jammer file in the repo root and evaluates architecture rules to pass or fail CI. It supports five rule types (dependency, content, function, naming, cycles) and specific checks like allowed/forbidden package imports including external packages, max function parameters and return values, max public functions per file, max function LOC, and cycle detection. It produces console output or an optional HTML report and installs via go get and runs in GitHub Actions, CircleCI or Bitbucket.
