stylelint-cli

1.3.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript maintenance

Global CLI wrapper to execute a locally installed stylelint. Stable version 1.3.0, released on npm. Low release cadence (last release 2019). Differentiator: allows running local stylelint via global `stylelint` command, avoiding conflicts between globally and locally installed stylelint. Alternative to npx-style invocations.
