Splinter

Here's a dead simple,
pattern-based linter for code
in any language.

It's not that smart, but
it needs only Bash and runs
on any Unix.

Define your rules in
a file as a list of
message/regex pairs.

Usage

Copy-paste splinter into your project and make it executable:
```
chmod +x splinter
```

Create a rule file named something like rules.txt:

# This is a comment and will be ignored.
# Each rule is defined as an error message followed
# by the regex (POSIX ERE) that should trigger it.

Remove trailing whitespace
\s$

Use `assert.strictEqual()` instead of `assert.equal()`
assert\.equal

Run Splinter:

# The rule file is the only required argument. Optionally, provide
# a list of files/directories to lint (default: current directory)
./splinter rules.txt index.js src

See the output! The exit code will be 1 if violations are found - useful for CI.

index.js:25:Remove trailing whitespace
index.js:26:Remove trailing whitespace
src/foobar.test.js:130:Use `assert.strictEqual()` instead of `assert.equal()`
