Overview
Custom Lint is a Dart package that enables developers and package authors to create and integrate custom lint rules into their Flutter and Dart projects. It provides a structured framework for defining code analysis rules, helping enforce consistent coding standards and improve code quality. By extending the built-in linting capabilities, it supports project maintainability and team-wide best practices. The package is designed for ease of use and seamless integration with existing development workflows.
