.swiftlint.yml in home dir

[mvoelkl]

I would like to place a global (and central managed) configuration for all of our projects in ~/.swiftlint.yml, but that doesn't seem to work.

Bug (therefore a feature request) or feature?

[jpsim]

That's not currently supported, so this is a new feature request.

[joedynamite]

Not sure if this should be a separate feature request or an extension of this existing one, but remote configuration files (not just home dir) would be nice as well.

The Ruby linter RuboCop allows this with explicit inheritance http://rubocop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/#inheriting-configuration-from-a-remote-url

[mgrebenets]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that currently works. Configs are nested.

[jpsim]

Only configs nested within your project are nested.

[jpsim]

or more precisely, configs in or nested in the working directory are applied

We would really like to be able to run swiftlint --config /path/to/.swiftlint.yml.

This is because we have lots of repos, and use a common git submodule to include files that we need in all of them.

So, we'd do:

git submodule init
git submodule update
swiftlint --config mysubmodule/.swiftlint.yml

@ianpartridge you can do that, but you do have to specify the lint command when passing arguments:

swiftlint lint --config mysubmodule/.swiftlint.yml
