How to pronounce knip

knip is most commonly pronounced "kuh nip" (/ˈknɪp/). This pronunciation is documented by the project itself (see Knip official GitHub README (webpro-nl/knip)).

JS/TS unused files/exports/deps detector by Lars Kappert (webpro). README states: "/ˈknɪp/ means '(to) cut' and is pronounced with a hard K" (Dutch). The K is NOT silent — say it "k-nip", NOT English "nip". Single short-i syllable as in "nip". macOS `say` silences the K on raw "knip", so the respelling uses a light schwa ("kuh nip") to force a hard-K onset — closest `say` gets to a true /kn/ cluster.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will.
