Code Climate vs TSLint: What are the differences?

What is Code Climate? Automated Ruby Code Review. After each Git push, Code Climate analyzes your code for complexity, duplication, and common smells to determine changes in quality and surface technical debt hotspots.

What is TSLint? An extensible linter for the TypeScript language. An extensible static analysis tool that checks TypeScript code for readability, maintainability, and functionality errors. It is widely supported across modern editors & build systems and can be customized with your own lint rules, configurations, and formatters.

Code Climate and TSLint can be primarily classified as "Code Review" tools.

Some of the features offered by Code Climate are:

• Automated Git Updates- Nothing to install. Code Climate runs everytime you push a new commit.
• Activity Feeds- Up-to-the-minute information so you can see when and how code changes.
• Instant Notifications- Major security and quality changes pushed to where you work: email, Campfire, HipChat, and RSS feeds.

On the other hand, TSLint provides the following key features:

• Extensive set of core rules
• Custom lint rules
• Custom formatters (failure reporters)
