Speed up Git Hook by running ktlint via command line

See original GitHub issue

From a developer experience perspective, it would be much better if ktlint was executed via the executable directly, to avoid having to start up Gradle.

Is there a way addKtlintCheckGitPreCommitHook could be modified to use the ktlint executable directly?

For example: I just committed via Sourcetree (which does not inherit Gradle JVM settings from the project) a single file

no sourcetree Gradle JVM running: 1m49s (likely due to memory thrashing with the project’s Gradle daemon
with sourcetree Gradle JVM running: 9s
using ktlint directly: 1s

Sorry, but I think you your case is better to install your custom git-hook that uses ktlint directly.

ktlint has a command-line option to do that.

Indeed current plugin performance is far from to be perfect, but this will be addressed in the future.

I think that this should be closed as a wont-fix. It seems like the ask is outside the scope of this project. (Unless I’m misunderstanding something).
