## Project history and usage

sqruff is a Rust-written SQL linter and formatter packaged as a fast, portable developer CLI.

### Project history

The official sqruff README describes the project as a SQL linter and formatter written in Rust, with configurable linting, automated formatting, speed, and portability as core goals. Official repository metadata places public development in 2023.

The official README presents a package-manager-first quickstart for macOS with brew install sqruff, plus documentation for pip, cargo, and binary downloads. Release pages show continued fast iteration with tagged releases through the 0.3x series.

### Adoption history

The supplied package-manager facts show sqruff available through Homebrew, Alpine, Nix, and Scoop. That cross-platform packaging matches the README's portability pitch and makes the tool suitable for local editors, pre-commit hooks, and CI lint jobs.

### How it is used

The README's basic workflow is to install sqruff, run sqruff lint with a SQL dialect such as postgres, and optionally create a .sqruff file in the project root so subsequent lint runs can infer configuration.

### Why package nerds care

Package nerds care about sqruff because SQL formatting and linting often sit in awkward dependency territory between data teams, Python tools, Rust binaries, and editor integrations. sqruff's appeal is that the formatter/linter can be shipped as one fast CLI across package managers.

### Timeline

- 2023: Official repository metadata reports public repository creation.
- 2024: GitHub issue history shows users configuring .sqruff in project roots for editor and SQL dialect workflows.
- 2026: Release page shows active 0.3x releases with downloadable assets.

### Related projects

- The official documentation connects sqruff to SQL dialect workflows, editor/CI usage, and Quary's hosted playground and docs.
