It targets provider maintainers rather than Terraform module consumers, checking acceptance tests, resources, schemas, validation code, and other Plugin SDK patterns. ### Project history The project packages Terraform-provider-specific checks as Go analysis passes and command-line tools. Its README distinguishes `tfproviderlint`, which includes standard checks, from `tfproviderlintx`, which includes extra opt-in checks. The documented check catalog shows the project evolving with the Terraform Plugin SDK: some checks were removed in later versions after upstream APIs changed or deprecated patterns became obsolete, while new checks cover resource, schema, validation, and acceptance-test conventions. ### Adoption history tfproviderlint has a longer provider-authoring niche than most tools in this batch. The README documents release binaries, Go installation, Docker usage, Homebrew installation from the maintainer tap, and a GitHub Action, which indicates use in local development and CI for Terraform provider repositories. ### How it is used Users run `tfproviderlint ./...` inside Terraform provider source trees, pass check flags to enable or disable analyzers, use `-fix` for checks with automated fixes, or invoke it through `go vet -vettool`. Docker and GitHub Action usage support CI workflows. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, tfproviderlint is significant because it encodes project-specific provider-maintainer knowledge as installable tooling. It is both a command-line package and a Go library of analyzers, making it useful for custom lint tools and automated provider quality gates. ### Timeline - 2024: GitHub tags list v0.30.0 in May. - 2025: GitHub releases list v0.31.0 in February. - 2026: Homebrew formula metadata lists stable version 0.31.0 with bottled builds. ### Related projects - Terraform Plugin SDK - Go analysis framework - go vet - tfproviderlint-github-action ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** tfproviderlint - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 1 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [tfplugingen-openapi](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfplugingen-openapi/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure, infrastructure-as-code, provider-development. - [actionlint](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/actionlint/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, linting, static-analysis. - [checkmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/checkmake/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, linting, static-analysis. - [flake8](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/flake8/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, linting, static-analysis. - [golangci-lint](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/golangci-lint/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, linting, static-analysis. - [hadolint](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hadolint/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, linting, static-analysis. - [tfenv](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfenv/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [tfmcp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfmcp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [cmake-lint](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake-lint/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
