How it’s done

Section titled “How it’s done”

A terminal session: the command as you’d run it, followed by the output it prints; trailing comments note the exit status.

Terminal window
# drop matching files; the failing archived doc is excluded, leaving a clean tree
markdown-contract validate ./planning --exclude '**/archive/**' --contract planning.contract.yaml
Scanned 2 files; 1 matched, 1 unmatched


No findings.
# exit status: 0 (nothing left fails)
