A cross-platform CLI tool to validate different configuration file types
What's new in 2.2.0
This is a big one. v2.2.0 brings project-level configuration, smarter file detection, and a bunch of quality-of-life improvements we've been wanting to ship for a while. Project configuration with .cfv.toml You can now drop a .cfv.toml file in your project root and stop repeating CLI flags. The validator auto-discovers it by walking up from the current directory, so monorepos and nested projects just work. Every flag has a config equivalent — exclude dirs, file types, schema mappings, reporter settings, all of it. The config file itself is validated against an embedded schema, so typos get caught immediately instead of silently ignored. Justfile validation We added syntax validation for Justfiles (.just, justfile, .justfile) using an embedded Go parser. Unlike Makefiles, Justfiles have a real grammar, which means we can actually give you useful error messages. --gitignore support Pass --gitignore and the validator will skip anything your .gitignore covers — including nested .gitignore files, .git/info/exclude, and your global git config. No more noise from node_modules/, dist/, or vendored files showing up in your results. Works as a CLI flag, env var (CFV_GITIGNORE), or in .cfv.toml. Smarter file detection The validator now recognizes ~90 common config filenames automatically, sourced from GitHub Linguist. Files like .babelrc, tsconfig.json, Pipfile, pom.xml, and .gitconfig are detected and validated without any configuration. This also means tsconfig.json is correctly treated as JSONC (not strict JSON), and SchemaStore lookups work for extensionless files like .clangd. JS...
