Versions:
EditorConfig-Checker 3.6.1, released by Max Strübing as the ninth iteration of the project, is a command-line utility whose single purpose is to guarantee that every source file in a repository complies with the formatting rules declared in .editorconfig. Instead of maintaining separate linter configurations for each language, development teams point the tool at the project root; it reads the universal .editorconfig file and traverses the entire tree, flagging indentation errors, line-ending mismatches, trailing whitespace, charset violations, and any other rule encoded in the standard specification. Typical use cases include gatekeeping CI pipelines, pre-commit hooks in mono-repos that mix Python, JavaScript, Go and documentation, and rapid audits of inherited legacy codebases whose style guides are already expressed in .editorconfig. Because it operates without additional plug-ins or per-language setup, the utility is lightweight enough for local developer machines yet scalable enough for enterprise build servers that validate thousands of files in seconds. The program belongs to the static-analysis / code-quality category and is distributed as a self-contained native executable for Windows, macOS and Linux. EditorConfig-Checker 3.6.1 refines exit codes, adds support for the 2021 EditorConfig specification, and improves performance on large codebases. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
