https://google.github.io/styleguide/go/ is the public version of it. Having read both I'd say the differences are small. The main thing missing, though, are the GoTip episodes that haven't been made public, and which are excellent.

I think the Google Go style guide is really nice and pragmatic. There are some references to the GoTips for some advanced subjects. I hope they release it someday.

I made an issue for it: https://github.com/google/styleguide/issues/881

I'm not sure about Google style guild but Go's context package docs state:

"Use context Values only for request-scoped data that transits processes and APIs, not for passing optional parameters to functions."

https://pkg.go.dev/context

Using context as a some sort of a mule is an antipattern.

I never saw the term "mule" used in this way. Very succinct!
