Usage: skeema lint [<options>] [<environment>]
Checks for problems in filesystem representation of database objects. A set of linter rules are run against all objects. Each rule may be configured to generate an error, a warning, or be ignored entirely. Statements that contain invalid SQL, or otherwise return an error from the database, are always flagged as linter errors.
By default, this command also reformats statements to their canonical form, just like skeema format.
This command relies on accessing database instances to test the SQL DDL in a temporary location. See the workspace option for more information.
You may optionally pass an environment name as a CLI arg. This will affect which section of .skeema config files is used for linter configuration and workspace selection. For example, running skeema lint staging will apply config directives from the [staging] section of config files, as well as any sectionless directives at the top of the file. If no environment name is supplied, the default is “production”.
An exit code of 0 will be returned if no errors or warnings were emitted and all files were already formatted properly; 1 if any warnings were emitted and/or some files were reformatted; or 2+ if any errors were emitted for any reason.
