Configure profiles
Inspection profiles keep information on the enabled inspections, the scope of files that these inspections analyze, and inspection severity settings. In GoLand, there are two types of profiles.
Profiles Stored in IDE are saved to the inspection folder in the GoLand configuration directory and are available for any project. You can copy the IDE profile to the current project using the Copy to Project option.
Profiles Stored in Project are saved to the inspectionProfiles folder in the .idea directory and are available within one project. You can copy the project profile to the IDE level using the Copy to IDE option.
GoLand comes with two default profiles of each type (Default and Project Default) that you can customize, or create new ones. You can also share, import, and export inspection profiles.

Synchronize profiles between computers
Profiles stored in project are kept together with other project configuration files and are shared through VCS. That is why, after you configure a new project profile and share it with other members of your team, this profile will be automatically propagated to their projects after they check out the project from a VCS.
If you want to share a profile stored in the IDE, you can use the Settings Repository plugin that is bundled with GoLand.
In this case, you have to configure this profile as the default inspection profile for all newly created projects (make it global). The plugin will promote this global configuration to all computers that are connected to the settings repository.
