Hi everyone,
Looking to integrate detekt in our pre-commit hook, but concerned about large legacy files that are quite large (over 1,000 lines) and often contain many code violations.

Is there a way to configure detekt to only analyze the actual code changes (diffs) within a file, rather than the entire file?

This would help us focus on fixing issues in the newly modified parts of the code and avoid getting bogged down by legacy violations.

<#C88E12QH4|detekt>

It sounds like you want a baseline. Run `detektBaseline` (`detektBaselineMain` if you want type resolution).

This should give you a baseline file that detekt will use to ignore legacy violations when you run `detekt` / `detektMain`.
