history
Project history and usage
sql-lint is a command-line SQL linter for MySQL and PostgreSQL-oriented workflows. Its official documentation positions it as a sanity-check tool that reports local lint findings and can also bring back database-server errors.
Project history
The GitHub repository was created in July 2018 and later moved its main development branch to `typescript`. The project reached a 1.0.0 release in June 2022, when the maintainer described it as stable and added command-line support for ignoring selected lint errors.
Adoption history
The README documents npm and Yarn global installation, downloadable release binaries, and editor integration through external-tool support. The release history shows packaged Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries, which made the tool usable outside Node-centric setups.
How it is used
sql-lint is usually run against files, directories, or stdin, for example `sql-lint .`, `sql-lint create-person.sql`, or piping a query into the command. Its configuration can be passed through CLI flags, discovered as `.sql-lint.json` while walking up from the current directory, or read from `~/.config/sql-lint/config.json`.
Why package nerds care
Package nerds care about sql-lint because it is a small, composable CLI that brings SQL review into shells, editor integrations, and CI-style checks without requiring a full IDE. Its XDG-style global config and project-local config discovery match common Unix packaging expectations.
