This is a repository that contains several useful things that other nblockchain repos use, such as:

• Config file and plugins for commitlint.
• A reference .editorconfig file.
• An F# style guide.
• Workflow guidelines.
• Scripts that aid maintainability:
  • Detection of .fsx scripts without shebang.
  • Detection of .fsx files without +x attrib.
  • F# scripts compilation.
  • EOF without EOL detection.
  • Mixed line-endings detection.
  • Auto-wrap the latest commit message.
  • Detect non-verbose flags (e.g. dotnet build -c Debug instead of dotnet build --configuration Debug) being used in scripts or YML CI files (there are exceptions, e.g. env -S).
  • Use of unpinned versions:
    • Use of -latest suffix in runs-on: GitHubCI tags.
    • Use of asterisk (*) in PackageReference items of .NET projects.
    • Missing the version number in #r "nuget: refs of F# scripts.
    • Missing the --version flag in dotnet tool install foo invocations.
  • Use of inconsistent versions:
    • Use of inconsistent version numbers in uses: and with: GitHubCI tags.
    • Use of inconsistent version numbers in #r "nuget: refs of F# scripts.
    • Use of inconsistent version numbers in nuget packages of .NET projects.

All in all, this is mainly documentation, and some tooling to detect bad practices.

More things to come:

• Detect old versions of FSharpLint and fantomas/fantomless being used.
• Detect old versions of .editorconfig or Directory.Build.props being used.
• Detect GitHubCI bad practices, such as:
  • Missing important triggers such as push or pull_request, workflow_dispatch, schedule.
  • Branch filtering on push trigger (only acceptable one is '**', otherwise '*' doesn't match to branch names with slashes in them).
• GitHub comment auto-responder? E.g. to answer to comments that end with "not working" or "doesn't work" or "does not work", asking for more details.
• wrapLatestCommitMsg.fsx script to fail for obvious requirements that can't be automated (e.g. title max length)
