Gorm Why uint instead of int?

I can see that gorm.Model is:

type Model struct {
    ID        uint `gorm:"primarykey"`
    CreatedAt time.Time
    UpdatedAt time.Time
    DeletedAt DeletedAt `gorm:"index"`
}

Why did you choose uint instead of int?

no specially reason, this sounds the most correct choice, but you can override the Model struct to use any type

The model defines ID as autoincremental value, and never must be a negative value, so uint is the most correct choice because it allows twice as many positive quantities as int.
