history
Project history and usage
cmake-lint is a Python static style checker for CMake files. Its README describes a cmakelint command that parses CMake files, reports style issues, supports filters, and can be used directly or through pre-commit.
Project history
The current GitHub repository describes itself as a fork of richq/cmake-lint created to continue maintenance. The bundled changelog records that version 1.2 moved to GitHub and version 1.2.01 was published on PyPI; the GitHub API reports the current maintenance repository was created in June 2019.
Adoption history
The project is distributed as the cmakelint Python package and the README gives pip installation instructions. The batch input lists Homebrew and Nix packages, and the README includes a pre-commit hook configuration, which makes it easy to adopt in project-level lint workflows.
How it is used
Users run cmakelint with one or more CMake files and optional --config or --filter arguments. The README documents .cmakelintrc lookup in the working directory, XDG-style config paths, and the home directory, plus inline lint_cmake pragmas for per-file filter overrides.
Why package nerds care
cmake-lint matters as a small, packageable CMake hygiene tool: it gives package maintainers and CI pipelines a lightweight way to enforce CMake style without pulling in a full build-system rewrite or editor integration.
Timeline
- 2012: changelog records version 1.2 moving to GitHub and 1.2.01 being published on PyPI.
- 2019: current maintenance fork repository is created.
- 2024: version 1.4.3 adds Python 3.12 support and is published as the latest GitHub release checked.
Related projects
- cmake-lint is related to CMake, pre-commit, and other CMake formatting or editor tools such as cmake-format and cmake-language-server, but it remains focused on static lint checks.
