+#!/usr/bin/env ruby
+
+# A sneaky wrapper around Rubocop that allows you to run it only against
+# the recent changes, as opposed to the whole project. It lets you
+# enforce the style guide for new/modified code only, as opposed to
+# having to restyle everything or adding cops incrementally. It relies
+# on git to figure out which files to check.
+#
+# Here are some options you can pass in addition to the ones in rubocop:
+#
+#   --local               Check only the changes you are about to push
+#                         to the remote repository.
+#
+#   --staged              Check only changes that are currently staged.
+#
+#   --uncommitted         Check only changes in files that have not been
+#   --index               committed (i.e. either in working directory or
+#                         staged).
+#
+#   --against REFSPEC     Check changes since REFSPEC. This can be
+#                         anything that git will recognize.
+#
+#   --branch              Check only changes in the current branch.
+#
+# Caveat emptor:
+#
+# * Monkey patching ahead. This script relies on Rubocop internals and
+#   has been tested against 1.30.1. Newer (or older) versions might
+#   break it.
+#
+# * While it does try to check modified lines only, there might be some
+#   quirks. It might not show offenses in modified code if they are
+#   reported at unmodified lines. It might also show offenses in
+#   unmodified code if they are reported in modified lines.
