Introducing Globstar: Open-source Static Analysis Toolkit

We're excited to announce the initial release of Globstar, an open-source static analysis toolkit for developers.

Globstar helps you write custom checkers to analyze your codebase and detect issues (code quality, security, or whatever you want to check). You write checkers in the .globstar folder of your repository as in YAML format, with tree-sitter's S-expression syntax to match patterns, and run globstar check to run the checkers against your codebase.

Our customers and community have been asking for a way to write custom checks for a long time, and we're thrilled to finally release this as a fist-step in that direction. In the future, we plan to integrate Globstar natively in DeepSource, so you can run your custom checks alongside the built-in ones with all the benefits of DeepSource.

Check out the website at globstar.dev, give it a try, and let us know what you think! We're looking forward to your feedback and contributions.
