About:
Vint is a static analysis tool and linter for Vim script (VimL). It checks Vimscript files for style violations, potential errors, and deprecated usage to help maintain clean and compatible code. It serves as an essential tool for developers writing plugins or complex configuration files for the Vim and Neovim text editors.

Key Features:

Static analysis for Vim script syntax and style
Configurable policy enforcement via .vintcfg files
Supports both Vim and Neovim specific standards
Lightweight and fast execution

Use Cases:

Enforcing consistent coding standards in Vim plugin development
CI/CD pipeline integration to validate Vim configuration files
Refactoring legacy .vimrc or plugin scripts safely

Alternatives:

vim-vint – This is the package itself; alternatives include basic syntax checking built into Vim or generic linters like ALE (Asynchronous Lint Engine) which can wrap vint.
