Okay bestie, welcome to the GUIX(1) manual page — yes, the User Commands one — for guix lint in GNU Guix, version 1.5.0rc1.47-fc2f5a. This is the linting era and we're seated. 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

guix — the manual page for guix lint (GNU Guix) 1.5.0rc1.47-fc2f5a. Lowkey a whole command in one page, and I'm obsessed.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

guix lint [OPTION]... [PACKAGE]...

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea: it runs a set of checkers on the package you specify. If none is specified, it runs the checkers on all packages. No cap, that's the rule.

The option vibe check, in order:

  • -c, --checkers=CHECKER1,CHECKER2... — only run the specified checkers. If you're like "bestie, just these checks", this is your flag. 🎯
  • -x, --exclude=CHECKER1,CHECKER2... — exclude the specified checkers. Not invited to the function. 🙅‍♀️
  • -n, --no-network — only run checkers that do not access the network. No network, no problem. 🌈
  • -e, --expression=EXPR — consider the package EXPR evaluates to. It's giving "trust the expression". ✨
  • -L, --load-path=DIR — prepend DIR to the package module search path. Path prepending, but make it fashion. 💅
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit. The "help me help you" move. 🫶
  • -l, --list-checkers — display the list of available lint checkers. The full roster, no gatekeeping. 👑
  • -V, --version — display version information and exit. Version check, slay. ⭐
