Running CPPlint on whole project

Question

I want to run cpplint.py on my whole project not for single file to get a report for all C/C++ files in the project. How to do this on macOS and Windows?

Answer 1

I am using Ubuntu, so my experience is just reference.

./cpplint.py ~/projects/* ~/projects/*/*
# or you can:
./cpplint.py ~/projects/*.* ~/projects/*/*.*

Answer 2

I have just find answer for some part of my question under this great post
