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. ### 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.
