How to use ctags for golang?

Question

I depend heavily upon ctags to traverse between my code.

Can anyone suggest how to use ctags with golang in Mac.

I tried using gotags, but I did not see any tag file generated and I was not able to traverse between the structure definition in vice versa.

godef (github.com/rogpeppe/godef) with emacs and go-mode works very well. Other editors use it as well as far as I know – Brachiopod

If you're looking for an editor, check sublime text + gosublime or visual studio code + go extension, far more superior to using ctags. – Gunslinger

gotags work for me: gotags -R ./* > tags

Answer 2

You need to edit ~/.ctags for ctags to generate tags with golang. Check following link ctag database for Go. Then do the usual ctags -R

Universal-ctags (https://ctags.io), an unofficial fork of Exuberant-ctags has built-in Go parser. It is not regex based (== not .ctags based).
