[Feature Request] Lint mode?

[ari-becker]

I'm thinking of writing a cron script to run xdg-ninja on a regular basis and notify me if it finds any violations. In this way, I don't have to remember to run xdg-ninja on a regular basis, and new violations are found closer/earlier to when a program violates them.

At the moment, however, the output of xdg-ninja can't be configured: it will always include files like $HOME/.bashrc that can't be moved (at least for now), and the exit code is always 0.

Could xdg-ninja support some kind of linting mode?

Xdg-ninja has a --skip-unsupported flag

@flexagoon I have it installed via homebrew.
Maybe this is really a request to update the homebrew release then?

@ari-becker the Homebrew package is built from tagged versions of xdg-ninja, the last of which is from 2022:

https://github.com/b3nj5m1n/xdg-ninja/releases

You should install the git version of xdg-ninja using brew install xdg-ninja --HEAD to get the latest version

Nice, the latest version is what I wanted.

@flexagoon @b3nj5m1n could you tag a new release for Homebrew users? Or change the docs to recommend using --HEAD instead?

I'll close since my usecase is fit by the latest version (well, nearly, since ~/.trash isn't excluded as unsupported on macOS, but this is already open in #287 ).

I'm not the developer of this project, so I can't do that. There is an issue about this at #204, you should probably comment there
