# Self-review your working diff before committing in Echo with Atlas in 2026 > Atlas helps Echo developers in 2026 self-review uncommitted diffs, ensuring code quality with `go test (httptest)` and `gofumpt` before committing. Echo developers in 2026 can catch their own mistakes in uncommitted diffs before they reach a reviewer or CI by using Atlas to read the working tree, run `go test (httptest)` for validation, and apply `gofumpt` for consistent formatting across their Echo codebase. ## Key takeaways - Atlas reads `git diff` for comprehensive Echo self-review. - Validate Echo changes with `go test (httptest)` via Atlas. - Ensure Echo code style with `gofumpt` before committing. - Atlas's session revert protects Echo `go.mod` changes. - Permission-gated tools secure Echo codebase modifications. ## How do Echo developers self-review diffs with Atlas? Echo developers in 2026 can self-review their working diffs comprehensively with Atlas, which reads the `git diff` and presents it for end-to-end review. This ensures that changes to `echo.Group` routes or custom `HTTPErrorHandler` logic are fully understood before committing. Atlas provides a terminal-native interface for Echo developers to produce and read their working diffs. Instead of just reviewing files they remember touching, Atlas surfaces the entire unified diff, allowing for a complete end-to-end review. This is crucial for Echo applications where changes in one file, such as a new route in `echo.Group` or a modification to a custom `Validator`, can have cascading effects. Atlas's ability to read `git branches`, `status`, and `diffs` means that every modification, from a simple handler update to a complex change in `go.mod` requiring `go mod tidy`, is visible and reviewable. This thorough approach helps catch subtle issues that might otherwise be missed, ensuring the integrity of the Echo service's typed Context and custom binders. ## How does Atlas ensure Echo code quality before commit? Atlas ensures Echo code quality before committing by integrating directly with the `go test (httptest)` runner and `gofumpt` formatter, a critical step for any Echo developer in 2026. This allows for immediate validation of handler logic and consistent code style across the entire module. For Echo developers, maintaining code quality involves rigorous testing and consistent formatting. Atlas facilitates this by allowing you to run `go test (httptest)` directly from the agent. This is particularly useful for covering new or modified Echo handlers, especially those returning `echo.NewHTTPError` or interacting with a custom `Validator`. Atlas can prompt to run these tests, ensuring that your changes behave as expected within the `httptest` environment. Furthermore, Atlas integrates `gofumpt`, the standard formatter for Go, to automatically format touched packages. This ensures that all Echo code adheres to a consistent style, preventing formatting issues from reaching a reviewer or CI. Atlas can also manage dependencies by ensuring `go mod tidy` is run when necessary, keeping your `go.mod` file clean and accurate. ## How to find debugging leftovers in Echo diffs with Atlas? Atlas helps Echo developers in 2026 find debugging leftovers by using `grep` to scan the uncommitted diff for common temporary logging or commented-out blocks. This prevents accidental `fmt.Println` statements or skipped tests from reaching production code. Debugging often leaves behind temporary code like `fmt.Println` statements, `log.Printf` calls, or `t.Skip()` in `go test` files. Atlas can use its `grep` tool to search your working diff for these common debugging patterns. This is especially important in Echo applications where temporary logging might expose sensitive `echo.Context` values or where a skipped test could mask a critical bug in a handler. By actively searching for these remnants, Echo developers can ensure their code is clean and production-ready. Atlas's ability to read the raw diff means it can pinpoint exactly where these debugging artifacts exist, allowing for quick and targeted removal before the code is committed and reviewed. ## How does Atlas revert unwanted changes in an Echo session? If an Echo developer makes an unwanted change, such as an accidental modification to `go.mod` or an `echo.Group` route, Atlas's session revert feature can restore the codebase from a snapshot. This process is safe, as Atlas ensures the session is not busy before initiating the rollback in 2026. Atlas provides a robust session revert mechanism, backed by git patches and snapshots, to undo unwanted changes. For an Echo developer, this means that if an edit to a handler, a `go.mod` file, or an `echo.Group` configuration turns out to be incorrect or unnecessary, it can be rolled back with confidence. The revert flow restores the files to a previous snapshot, effectively undoing the changes made during the current session. A key safety feature is that Atlas refuses to run revert on a busy session, preventing a half-written turn from being rolled back mid-flight. This ensures that the developer's work is protected and that the Echo codebase remains in a consistent state, even during active development. ## What are Atlas's safety features for Echo code edits? Atlas incorporates multiple safety features for Echo code edits in 2026, including permission-gated tool calls and unified diff approval, ensuring developers maintain control over changes to critical files like `go.mod` or `HTTPErrorHandler` implementations. Atlas is designed with developer control and safety in mind. Every Atlas tool call, whether it's running `go test (httptest)` or modifying a file, is permission-gated against allow, ask, and deny rules. This means an Echo developer explicitly approves actions, especially those that could alter `echo.Group` routes, custom binders, or the `go.mod` file. Atlas also drafts a plan in a read-only plan agent and asks for approval before switching to a build agent to execute changes. Crucially, Atlas computes a unified diff for every file edit and surfaces it for approval before writing, giving the developer a final chance to review and accept or reject the proposed changes. This layered approach ensures that all modifications to the Echo codebase, including those affecting the typed Context or `HTTPErrorHandler`, are intentional and fully vetted by the developer. ## Steps 1. Produce the working diff for your Echo module with Atlas and read it end to end, not just the files you remember touching. 2. Read each changed Echo file in full to check the change against its surroundings, since a diff hides everything it did not touch. 3. Grep for debugging leftovers you introduced in your Echo code, such as temporary `fmt.Println` or `t.Skip()` in `go test` files. 4. If a change should not have been made, use Atlas's session revert, which restores from a snapshot and asserts the session is not busy first. 5. Run `go test (httptest)` to validate your Echo handlers and `gofumpt` over the touched packages with Atlas, then commit. ## FAQ ### How do I run `go test` for my Echo handlers with Atlas? Atlas can execute `go test (httptest)` via `bash` to cover your Echo handlers, especially after adding a custom `Validator` or modifying `echo.NewHTTPError` responses, ensuring your tests pass before committing. ### Can Atlas format my Echo code with `gofumpt` automatically?
