The README suggests installing ktlint in /usr/local/bin, meaning that all your projects need to be on the same ktlint version. Now you probably don't want to include the ktlint binary in every repo, but what about a Gradle-wrapper like script that downloads the ktlint binary?
Would that be something the repository might want to provide?

[Rob Elliot]

Just out of interest, are you building with gradle? If so, what’s wrong with using one of the two gradle plugins’ tasks, which implicitly download the correct version of ktlint?

[nhaarman]

We’ve seen that running ktlint in gradle is significantly slower than invoking the binary directly since gradle needs to configure everything

[Rob Elliot]

Fair enough. On my project it takes between 1 & 3 seconds to run gw lintKotlin or gw formatKotlin. Gradle 6.8-milestone-1, org.jmailen.kotlinter:3.2.0.

Gradle should become better when configuration cache will work

[tapchicoma]

one advantage of the Gradle (if configuration cache is working) is skipping the check on unchanged sources
