Welcome

The stata_linter package provides a set of tools for detecting and correcting bad practices on Stata do-files. The tools are integrated in the lint command which is an opinionated detector that attempts to improve readability of Stata do files. The command is written based on the good coding practices at the Development Impact Evaluation Unit of The World Bank.

For these standards, refer to DIME's Stata Coding practices and Appendix: The DIME Analytics Coding Guide of the book "Development Research in Practice."
