A must read:

https://dave.cheney.net/2016/04/27/dont-just-check-errors-handle-them-gracefully

The author has a package https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pkg/errors that you can use to implement the error handling pattern he outlines in the article.

Use errcheck

You can use this static analysis tool to check if you have potentially not handled an error case in your code

go install github.com/kisielk/errcheck@latest
errcheck <src dir>
