A linter for craft project files such as snapcraft.yaml
craft-tidy checks the project files of Canonical's craft tools
(snapcraft.yaml, charmcraft.yaml, rockcraft.yaml, imagecraft.yaml and
debcraft.yaml) for common mistakes, deprecated constructs and deviations
from packaging best practices, helping you catch problems before you run
a (potentially lengthy) build.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
