Git Lint Diff

A tool to limit what lines of files checked so that you can gradually reach a lint free repository.

Example usage:

$ ./git-lint-diff -h
usage: git-lint-diff [-h] [-v] [-a] [-r REVISION] --linter
                     {puppet-lint,flake8} [-g GIT_EXECUTABLE]
                     [ARG [ARG ...]]

positional arguments:
  ARG                   The executable to run, and any desired arguments.
                        (default: None)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         Increase verbosity (specify multiple times for more).
                        (default: 0)
  -a, --all             Check the entire repository, not just changed files.
                        (default: False)
  -r REVISION, --revision REVISION
                        A revision to compare against e.g. origin/master or
                        9ec079b. (default: df2ff0d76edfa4d81e7ca1b6cfbad6675b88042d)
  --linter {puppet-lint,flake8}
                        The linter to use. (default: None)
  -g GIT_EXECUTABLE, --git-executable GIT_EXECUTABLE
                        The executable to run. (default: /usr/bin/git)

The linter will only report lines changed in the most recent commit:

$ ./git-lint-diff --linter flake8
./patchman/util/templatetags/common.py:168:31: E225 missing whitespace around operator

....Skipped 127 lines.....

Or any commit of your chooseing:

$ ./git-lint-diff --linter flake8 -r origin/master
