You'll need `file(1)` and various other binaries in your `PATH`. + +This is nowhere near as tidy as it could be, but it correctly handles syntax +checking and linting of added or changed files only, without rescanning the +whole project. It does this with some byzantine Bash. It handles filenames with +funny characters (including newlines) correctly. + +I'll write some real documentation Later™. + +License +------- + +Copyright (c) [Tom Ryder][1].
