Sass Lint can be run via its Command Line Interface (CLI). To do so, run sass-lint from the command line.
By default, the command will run against the glob defined by a user's file.include option in their config, or a glob (or single file) can be passed as the last argument to the CLI to be explicitly run against.
Please note that when using glob patterns such as
folder/**/*.scssas a command line argument (files to be linted or ignored) you will need to wrap the pattern in quotes or escape the*characters to prevent bash/zsh from automatically expanding the glob pattern.
The following options are available for the CLI:
| Command Line Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-c,--config [path] |
Path to the config file that should be used, relative to the directory the the command is being run in (will override other config path options) |
-f,--format [format] |
Pass one of the available Eslint formats to format the output of sass-lint results. |
-h,--help |
Outputs usage information for the CLI |
-i,--ignore [pattern] |
A pattern that should be ignored from linting. Multiple patterns can be used by separating each pattern by , . Patterns should be wrapped in quotes (will be merged with other ignore options) |
-o,--output [output] |
The path plus file name relative to where Sass Lint is being run from where the output should be written to. |
-q,--no-exit |
Prevents the CLI from throwing an error if there is one (useful for development work) |
-s,--syntax |
Syntax to evaluate the given file(s) with, either sass or scss. Use with care: overrides filename extension-based syntax detection. |
-v,--verbose |
Verbose output (fully formatted output) |
-V,--version |
Outputs the version number of Sass Lint |
