Github has automation to detect and mitigate repos with AWS/GCC API keys. They probably don't (yet?) have equivalents for OpenAI or other similar services that aren't as popular.

Good catch, looks like a mixup somewhere in the writing/editing/publishing pipeline. The correct examples are given in the user guide [1], and I'll see if we can get the post updated accordingly. Thank you! Edit: the post has

At the moment, it's somewhere around pylint and flake8, depending on the number of lint rules running, but that's with no caching or performance optimization beyond per-file multiprocessing. I have plans for simple caching that sh

They are two linters with very different goals. Where Ruff prioritizes speed over all other concerns, and chooses Rust as the method of achieving that goal with a set of generic lint rules, Fixit is focused on making it easy for Python d

The user guide has a short section on writing custom rules [1], and the API reference also covers the attributes of a LintRule [2]. I plan to document this in more detail at some point in the future. 1: https://fixit.readthedocs.

It's a pattern that I have used multiple times in the past, and greatly appreciate for modular components like this, but in this specific case, this was the pattern used by the original authors of Fixit 1, and I was very happy to maint

Keep in mind that many/most of these tools also need to work in diff review and CI tools, not just in an editor. That said, we primarily support developers using VS Code (with internal LSP/plugins/integrations) or our interna

The Cinder team's longterm goal is to upstream as much as we can, and make the rest available as pip-installable extensions that anyone could theoretically install and use on CPython. The fewer internal changes and patches we need to m
