How can I use swiftlint to enforce that every swift file must include a specified header values?

Question

I wanted that every *.swift files must have the required texts. Like so..

If the developer forgets to add it or has inputted the wrong values swiftlint will give an error or warning upon compiling.

I have searched about file_header but somehow it doesnt work properly. Here is my swiftlint.yml configuration

What about [link1](https://medium.com/@abhimuralidharan/creating-a-reusable-file-template-in-xcode-8c49830bc3a0) and [link2](https://robots.thoughtbot.com/creating-custom-xcode-templates)? — biloshkurskyi.ss, Dec 12 '17 at 10:20
Thanks for the tip, but I wanted to use `swiftlint` on this. — otakuProgrammer, Dec 12 '17 at 11:21

You can use: required_pattern

    file_header:
      required_pattern: |
                        \/\/
                        \/\/  .*?\.swift
                        \/\/  (PROJECT_NAME.*?|Unit Tests)
                        \/\/
                        \/\/  (Created by .*? on .*?)
                        \/\/  Copyright © \d{4} COPY_RIGHT_NAME\. All rights reserved\.
                        \/\/

replace PROJECT_NAME and COPY_RIGHT_NAME with your values or change the pattern
