history

Project history and usage

IBLinter is a Swift command-line linter for Interface Builder files, aimed at normalizing `.xib` and `.storyboard` files in iOS and macOS projects.

Project history

The README describes IBLinter as inspired by SwiftLint and focused on XML-based Interface Builder resources. It offers installation through Homebrew, Mint, CocoaPods, or source builds, which matches the distribution habits of Apple-platform developer tools.

Adoption history

IBLinter became one of the more visible packages in this batch: the GitHub page shows a large star count for a narrowly scoped linter, and Homebrew analytics show thousands of installs over a 365-day window. That reflects a practical need in teams that treat storyboards and XIBs as reviewable source files rather than opaque editor artifacts.

How it is used

Teams use IBLinter in local checks or build phases to enforce conventions on Interface Builder files. The README documents a project-root configuration file with enabled rules, disabled rules, and excluded paths, which lets teams tune lint behavior for their repository.

Why package nerds care

IBLinter is a neat example of the SwiftLint pattern spreading to adjacent Apple build artifacts: a focused Swift CLI, Homebrew and Mint installation, CocoaPods integration for build phases, and a rule-based config file for otherwise awkward XML UI resources.

Timeline

  • v0.1.0: The repository contains an early tagged release for the linter.
  • 0.4.x: The tag history shows a long sequence of 0.4 maintenance releases.
  • 2022: GitHub lists 0.5.0 as a February 2022 release.
  • 0.5.0: Homebrew packages the same stable version.

Related projects

  • The README explicitly names realm/SwiftLint as inspiration, and installation docs place IBLinter beside Homebrew, Mint, CocoaPods, and Xcode build-phase workflows.
