Code linters

Prettier

• Website
• Plugins
• Config options
  • Many things are not configurable, not very flexible

prettier l.yml
prettier --write l.yml

Repository linters

alint

• Website
• Repo: docs/
  • Contain more docs (i.e. design docs) which are not included in the website docs, i.e.: Design doc: ^ and $ in content patterns
• Website docs
  • alint vs other repo-level linters
  • pre-commit integration
    • takes a long time to install (compile)
  • Bundled Rulesets
• Limitations

• alint LSP
  • alint for Neovim
