Run linters against the current (or given) directory. Default command
Usage: alint[EXE] check [OPTIONS] [PATH]
Arguments:
[PATH] Root of the repository to lint. Defaults to the current directory [default: .]
Options:
-c, --config <CONFIG> Path to a config file (repeatable; later overrides earlier)
--changed Restrict the check to files in the working-tree diff. Without `--base`, uses `git ls-files --modified --others --exclude-standard` (right shape for pre-commit). With `--base`, uses `git diff --name-only <base>...HEAD` (right shape for PR checks). Cross-file rules (`pair`, `for_each_dir`, `every_matching_has`, `unique_by`, `dir_contains`, `dir_only_contains`) and existence rules (`file_exists` et al.) still consult the full tree by definition
--base <REF> Base ref for `--changed` (uses three-dot `<base>...HEAD`, i.e. merge-base diff). Implies `--changed`
-f, --format <FORMAT> Output format [default: human]
--no-gitignore Disable .gitignore handling (overrides config)
--fail-on-warning Treat warnings as errors for exit-code purposes
--color <WHEN> When to emit ANSI color codes in human output. `auto` (the default) inspects TTY + `NO_COLOR` + `CLICOLOR_FORCE`. Only affects the `human` format; `json` / `sarif` / `github` / `markdown` / `junit` / `gitlab` / `agent` are always plain bytes [default: auto] [possible values: auto, always, never]
--ascii Force ASCII glyphs in human output (e.g. `x` instead of `✗`). Auto-enabled when `TERM=dumb`
--compact Compact one-line-per-violation human output, suitable for piping into editors / grep / `wc -l`. Format: `path:line:col: level: rule-id: message`
--progress <WHEN> When to render progress on stderr for slow operations (currently `alint suggest`). `auto` (the default) renders when stderr is a TTY; `always` forces; `never` silences. Progress always lives on stderr — `--format` JSON / YAML output on stdout stays byte-clean [default: auto] [possible values: auto, always, never]
-q, --quiet Suppress progress and any stderr summary lines. Alias for `--progress=never` plus suppression of the "found N proposals in Ts" footer that `suggest` prints
-h, --help Print help
