ttlint

ttlint is a Tiny Text Linter. It uses the very fast Aho-Corasick algorithm to search for a set of strings.

By default, it searches for:

• Trailing whitespace
• The UTF-8 byte-order mark
• Git merge conflict markers
• Carriage return (\r)

Features

• Checks for the presence of certain substrings

• Very fast

• --fix mode available

• Precompiled binaries available

• Safe, doesn't panic

• <300 lines of code

• GitHub actions:

  • install-ttlint
  • ttlint

Non-Features

• No recursive mode, use find/xargs/shell globs
• Not parallel, use xargs, make, or ninja

Download a binary from the releases page, or build with Cargo:
