Rationale
Duplicated rules are likely a mistake, perhaps from pasting contents from another file.
This rule identifies rules that are identical in terms of their name, assigned value, and body — excluding whitespace. In technical terms, if two or more rules share the same abstract syntax tree, they are considered to be duplicates.
Exceptions
Note that this rule currently works at the scope of a single file. If you're using the same package across multiple files, there could still be duplicates across those files. This will be addressed in a future version of this rule.
Configuration Options
This linter rule provides the following configuration options:
