WIP: create an interface to allow for convention checking in gazelle #1900

Open tyler-french opened 1 month ago

tyler-french commented 1 month ago

Currently, at Uber, we do not use an index. Instead, we use conventions and a set of # gazelle:resolve statements in the root BUILD.bazel file.

This is beneficial because it means we can run Gazelle O(size change) instead of `O(size repo)'

This can be enabled by running bazel run //:gazelle -- --use_conventions with flag

Fixes #1907

@fmeum @linzhp still a draft, but let me know if you have any preliminary thoughts. Especially on how to make it more ubiquitous
