Delete checkpatch.pl #3

Closed planetA closed 3 years ago

Delete checkpatch.pl, because it is a tool supplied with the Linux kernel. It is not a part of your repository. Try to maintain only necessary files there.

planetA commented 3 years ago

And spelling.txt as well of course

okay, i don't know that before. i learned everything from a post online ,which told me that i should donwload those two file in order to use it.

i have deleted thoes files totaly and use following commands to find the checkpatch.pl in linux kernel source tree sudo wget -O /usr/bin/checkpatch.pl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torvalds/linux/master/scripts/checkpatch.pl" sudo wget -O /usr/bin/spelling.txt "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torvalds/linux/master/scripts/spelling.txt" sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/checkpatch.pl

Do you have linux kernel source tree downloaded?

yaoxinjing commented 3 years ago

No, i mean ,i download the checkpatch.pl and spelling.txt according to the tip in visual code studio. after that i enable a extension called "checkpatch",which check the linux code style automaticly

You need to have the Linux kernel anyway, so I would just recommend using it from there. It is discouraged to install applications outside of package management control.
