To view the test coverage in the terminal, just run go-carpet.

It works outside of the GOPATH directory. And it works recursively for multiple packages.

With -256colors option, shades of green indicate the level of coverage.

By default skip vendor directories (Godeps,vendor), otherwise use -include-vendor option.

The -mincov option allows you to specify a coverage threshold to limit the files to be displayed.

usage: go-carpet [options] [paths]
  -256colors
    	use more colors on 256-color terminal (indicate the level of coverage)
  -args string
    	pass additional arguments for go test
  -file string
    	comma-separated list of files to test (default: all)
  -func string
    	comma-separated functions list (default: all functions)
  -include-vendor
    	include vendor directories for show coverage (Godeps, vendor)
  -mincov float
    	coverage threshold of the file to be displayed (in percent) (default 100)
  -summary
    	only show summary for each file
  -version
    	get version

For view coverage in less, use -R option:

go-carpet | less -R
