 staging area.  It can be configured to work with any `lint` command.
 Some commands may require shell wrappers.
 
+While it may be possible to create a custom lint command in your npm,
+grunt, Make, CMake, or whatever, the fact is we all use a VCS, and
+most of us use git.  Having a centralized repository for what we want
+checked and how we want it checked, associated with git (and by
+extension, as a pre-commit hook), that can be run at any time for any

 Features
 --------
 
 * Highly configurable - configuration files, both for git-lint and
   individual linters, can be global or per-project.
 
-* Only checks what has been changed, but this can be overriden from the
-  command line.
-
-* For some linters, can lint both full-files and or only the parts that
-  have changed.
+* Only checks files that have been changed, but this can be overriden
+  from the command line.
 
 * Can be used directly as a pre-commit hook, to ensure you personally
   don't check in anything broken.
 
- * Used this way, it checks the *staging* area, not your workspace.
