        :aliases {"clj-kondo" ["run" "-m" "clj-kondo.main"]}

$ lein clj-kondo --lint src

tools.deps.alpha

Run clj-kondo as an ad-hoc command line dependency:

$ clj -Sdeps '{:deps {clj-kondo {:mvn/version "RELEASE"}}}' -m clj-kondo.main --lint src

Or add it as an alias to ~/.clojure/deps.edn:

{:aliases
 {:clj-kondo
  {:extra-deps {clj-kondo {:mvn/version "RELEASE"}}
   :main-opts ["-m" "clj-kondo.main"]}}}

$ clj -A:clj-kondo --lint src
