## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

editorconfig-checker is a small CI-friendly companion to EditorConfig: instead of teaching an editor how to apply a project's .editorconfig file, it checks the files in a tree and reports where they do not match the rules.

### Projektgeschichte

The public GitHub repository was created in 2017 and describes the tool as a verifier for files against .editorconfig. Its README frames the project around the gap left by language-specific linters: one EditorConfig-aware checker can cover whitespace, line ending, final newline, indentation, maximum line length, and charset rules across a mixed repository.

The project is implemented as a standalone command-line tool and publishes prebuilt release archives. By the 3.x series it also documented Go installation, Docker use, Homebrew, Nix, Arch Linux packages, and language-specific wrappers for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and PHP ecosystems.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Adoption has been mostly through automation and packaging rather than editor plugins. The README explicitly documents GitHub Actions-compatible output, Code Climate JSON output, GCC-style diagnostics, Docker execution, and package-manager installs, which made it fit naturally into CI jobs and pre-commit-style checks.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The common usage is to run editorconfig-checker at a repository root. With no file arguments it checks tracked text files, and with explicit file arguments it checks just those paths while still honoring configured excludes.

Configuration can be passed on the command line or read from .editorconfig-checker.json, with .ecrc retained as a deprecated name. The tool also has an init mode for creating a starting configuration.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package metadata, editorconfig-checker is interesting because it turns a cross-editor convention into an installable, headless validation tool. It is a natural dependency for distribution maintainers, CI images, and repositories that want formatting contracts without adopting a language-specific formatter.
