`gofmt` only formats Go code. `goimports` does that too, and also adds/removes/sorts imports automatically. So in practice: - Use `goimports` for everyday editing and before commit. - Use `gofmt` only if you specifically want formatting without touching imports. If you already use `goimports`, you usually do not need to run `gofmt` separately.
