Is there any static code analysis tool for Julia? I’m looking for something that I could run from command line, for automatic code checks.

Since it has very limited documentation, @Tamas_Papp could you give example how to use it?

If the docs at

[https://www.julia-vscode.org/StaticLint.jl/dev/](https://www.julia-vscode.org/StaticLint.jl/dev/)

are not sufficient, I would recommend you ask the authors.
