Credo is a static code analysis tool for the Elixir language with a focus on code consistency and teaching. It highlights refactoring opportunities, complexity, common mistakes, naming inconsistencies, and helps enforce a desired coding style.

Use cases

• lint elixir code for style and consistency
• find refactoring opportunities in my elixir project
• detect complex code fragments in elixir
• enforce a coding style across an elixir codebase
• run static analysis in CI for elixir
• warn about common elixir mistakes

When to choose

• you maintain an Elixir codebase and want consistent, readable code
• you want editor or CI integration for Elixir linting
• you want a linter that explains issues and teaches best practices

When to avoid

• your project is not written in Elixir
• you need dynamic/runtime bug detection rather than static analysis
• you need type checking (use Dialyzer instead)
