Git Lint
===============================

A git command that automatically runs identifiable linters against
changed files in current repository or staging.

* Free software: MIT license

**Git Lint** 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 `lint` command.
Some commands may require shell wrappers.

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.

* 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.

 * 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.
