Behind the scenes

How are identified applicable files

  • File extensions: .proto

How the linting is performed

  • protolint is called one time by identified file (file CLI lint mode)

Example calls

protolint lint myfile.proto
protolint lint --config_path .protolintrc.yml myfile.proto
protolint lint -fix --config_path .protolintrc.yml myfile.proto
