<h1>Git Lint: README<a class="headerlink" href="#git-lint-readme" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>A git command that automatically runs identifiable linters against
changed files in your current git repository or staging area.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Free software: MIT license</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Git Lint</strong> runs a configurable set of syntax, style, and complexity
checkers against changed files in your current working directory or
staging area.  It can be configured to work with any <cite>lint</cite>-like
command.  Some commands may require shell wrappers.</p>
<p>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 reason.</p>
<div class="section" id="usage">
<h2>Usage<a class="headerlink" href="#usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>To lint only what&#8217;s changed recently in your current working directory:</dt>
<dd><cite>git lint</cite></dd>
<dt>To lint everything, changed or otherwise, from the current directory down:</dt>
<dd><cite>git lint -a</cite></dd>
<dt>To lint what&#8217;s changed from the repo&#8217;s base:</dt>
<dd><cite>git lint -b</cite></dd>
<dt>To lint what&#8217;s in your staging directory:</dt>
<dd><cite>git lint -s</cite></dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="section" id="install">
<h2>Install<a class="headerlink" href="#install" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<blockquote>
<div><cite>pip install git-linter</cite></div></blockquote>
<p>You will need to copy the .git-lint configuration file to either your
home directory or the repo`s base directory.  Edit the configuration
file as needed.  You will also need any linters that you plan on
running.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="features">
<h2>Features<a class="headerlink" href="#features" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Highly configurable - configuration files, both for git-lint and
individual linters, can be global or per-project.</li>
<li>Only checks files that have been changed, but this can be overriden
from the command line.</li>
<li>Can be used directly as a pre-commit hook, to ensure you personally
don&#8217;t check in anything broken.<ul>
<li>Used this way, it checks the <em>staging</em> area, not your workspace.</li>
<li>When using the staging area, it stashes your current work. Upon
restoration of your workspace, it ensures the timestamps are the
same, so as not to confuse your build system or IDE.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<div class="section" id="acknowledgements">
<h2>Acknowledgements<a class="headerlink" href="#acknowledgements" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><cite>Git lint</cite> started life as a simple pre-commit hook.  Most of the
changes since were inspired by Steve Pulec&#8217;s <em>`Why You Need a Git
Pre-Commit Hook and Why Most Are Wrong`_ ,</em> as well as just my own needs as
a software developer.</p>
