lintel init

Create .lintel/lintel.yaml with secure defaults in the current repository.

Usage

lintel init [flags]

Flags

Flag	Default	Purpose
--force	false	Overwrite an existing .lintel/lintel.yaml
--minimal	false	Emit a minimal config (defaults implicit) rather than the fully-annotated starter
--stack	auto	Comma-separated stacks (e.g. go,npm); overrides auto-detect

What it does

1. Verifies you are inside a Git repository (or refuses).
2. Creates .lintel/ if it does not exist.
3. Writes .lintel/lintel.yaml seeded from the stack(s) detected in the repo (or the stacks passed with --stack).
4. Appends .lintel/overrides.log to .gitignore if it is not already ignored.
5. Prints next steps (lintel install, lintel run).

The generated config is fully commented so new users can read the file top-to-bottom and understand what each setting does. If you prefer a lean file, pass --minimal.

Example

cd my-service
lintel init --stack go
# wrote .lintel/lintel.yaml
# next: lintel install  (to install git hooks)
#       lintel run      (to scan now)

Exit codes

Code	Meaning
0	Config written
2	Not a Git repo, or .lintel/lintel.yaml exists and --force was not passed
