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. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
