hlint: Generate a settings file ignoring all outstanding hints.

hlint

$ hlint ${filename} --default > ${-hlint-yaml}

try on your machine

This command is being used to run the hlint linter on a specific file and save the linting results in a YAML format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

hlint: This is the executable for the hlint tool, which is a Haskell source code linting tool. It helps detect and suggest improvements for common code issues, stylistic improvements, and potential bugs.
${filename}: This placeholder represents the name of the file that you want to lint. You should replace ${filename} with the actual name/path of the file you want to lint.
--default: This flag is passed to hlint to use the default set of rules for linting. You can customize the ruleset, but using --default ensures that the default rules are applied.
>: This is a shell redirection operator that redirects the output of the command to a file instead of displaying it in the terminal.
${-hlint-yaml}: This placeholder represents the name of the file where the linting results in YAML format will be saved. You should replace ${-hlint-yaml} with the desired filename.

So, overall, this command runs the hlint linter on the specified file using the default set of rules and saves the linting results in YAML format in the specified file.
