alint rules

alint rules is the rule kind catalog on the command line. It never reads a config, so it works in any directory, including before you write your first .alint.yml.

Examples

Every rule kind, with its categories:

alint rules list

Narrow the list:

alint rules list --category naming
alint rules list --search shebang

The categories and how many kinds each holds:

alint rules categories

One kind: summary, categories, aliases, host capabilities, accepted kind-specific selectors, fix operations, and docs link. An alias resolves to its canonical kind:

alint rules show content_forbidden

Reference

Browse the catalog of rule kinds alint ships (config-independent).

Use `alint list` for the rules configured in THIS repo; `alint rules` never reads a config and works
anywhere.

Usage: alint rules [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

  list        List rule kinds in the catalog, optionally filtered. Reads no config
  categories  List the rule categories: slug, title, and how many kinds each holds
