Is it possible to hide the output of detekt in terminal if it is all good? I would only like to see the errors.

Tried with -q and it didn't work

This might help. https://arturbosch.github.io/detekt/configurations.html#console-and-output-reports The

console-reports

portion. I don’t think it supports exactly what you’re after, but I suspect if you turned off everything except BuildFailureReport, you’d only see a report if there’s a failure.

thanks! will check it out now
