Description

When I run jshint, there is no output. Terminal indicates a 0 exit code, although my pre-commit hooks say it is returning a 1 and suggests I fix the problem before committing. I am using the pre-commit npm module there too with "jshint app.js" and also tried just "jshint".

from the command line (fish shell and bash): jshint --verbose app.js

OSX 10.11.3 I installed node and npm via homebrew. Then installed jshint through npm.

Research direction
Investigate the default reporter implementation in the jshint codebase (likely in the 'reporters' directory). Determine if the reporter intentionally omits output on success and if a configuration option exists. Check the issue comments for any proposed solutions or maintainer guidance. A potential fix could be to add a 'success' message or make it configurable.
