Description

In order to make releases more painless, and the code more stable and dependable in general I would like to try and hit a goal of at least 80% coverage (line based) on all packages.

Coverage data for master branch is at: https://codecov.io/gh/ipfs/go-ipfs/tree/master/cmd/ipfs

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Codecov report to identify packages with below 80% coverage. For each package, run tests with coverage flag, e.g., 'go test coverprofile=coverage.out ./path/to/pkg', then inspect the generated coverage file to find untested lines or branches. Focus on adding tests that cover edge cases and error paths. Consider using table driven tests for efficiency.
