hlint: Check all Haskell files and generate a report.
$ hlint ${path-to-directory} --report
try on your machine

This command utilizes the hlint tool to provide suggestions for improving Haskell code. Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • hlint: This is the actual hlint command that runs the tool.
  • ${path-to-directory}: This should be replaced with the path to the directory where your Haskell code files are located. It tells hlint which files to analyze.
  • --report: This flag instructs hlint to generate a report of the suggestions it finds in the specified directory. The report will typically be saved in a file called report.html or similar, and it will contain detailed information about each suggestion and where it occurs in the code.

In summary, the command executes hlint on the specified directory, scans the Haskell code files for potential improvements, and generates a report of the suggestions found.
