Foodcritic

⚠️⚠️⚠️ All good things come to an end, and now is the time to say goodbye to Foodcritic. ⚠️⚠️⚠️

At this point we consider the Foodcritic project sunsetted and suggest all users move cookbook linting to Cookstyle.

Cookstyle with Chef cookbook support ships in Chef Workstation 0.9+ and ChefDK 4.4+. If you’d like to checkout the project or request new cops visit github.com/chef/cookstyle
