Scaffold a starter `.alint.yml` based on the repo's detected ecosystem (and optionally workspace shape). Refuses to overwrite an existing config — delete the existing one first if you really mean it
Usage: alint[EXE] init [OPTIONS] [PATH]
Arguments:
[PATH] Root of the repository to write the config into. Defaults to the current directory [default: .]
Options:
-c, --config <CONFIG> Path to a config file (repeatable; later overrides earlier)
--monorepo Detect workspace shape (Cargo `[workspace]`, pnpm-workspace.yaml, or `package.json` `workspaces`) and add the corresponding `monorepo@v1` + `monorepo/<flavor>-workspace@v1` overlays. `nested_configs: true` is set on the generated config so each subdirectory can layer its own `.alint.yml` on top
-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`
--width <COLS> Override the human-output column width. Default: detected terminal width (TTY only) or 80. Useful for reproducible captures (asciinema/screen recordings) and for piping into fixed-width log viewers. Clamped to [40, 120]
--no-docs Suppress per-violation `docs:` URLs in human output. Useful for narrow terminals, screen recordings, and CI logs where long URLs disrupt visual alignment. URLs remain in JSON / SARIF / GitHub / markdown output regardless
--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
