Super-linter is a ready-to-run collection of linters and code analyzers, to help validate and fix your source code.
The goal of super-linter is to help you establish best practices and consistent formatting across multiple programming languages, and ensure developers are adhering to those conventions.
Super-linter analyzes source code files using several tools, and reports the issues that those tools find as console output, and as GitHub Actions status checks. You can also run super-linter outside GitHub Actions.
Super-linter can also help you fix linting and formatting issues.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Runs linters in parallel: Since v6, Super-linter parallelizes running all the included linters, leading to scanning massive code repositories in seconds.
- Highly curated set of linters: Avoid including linters that implement overlapping checks, reducing bloat, scanning times, and container image size.
- Run on GitHub Actions or other environments: Super-linter runs on GitHub Actions and other runtime environments, with the only dependency of an OCI-compatible container runtime engine, such as Docker.
- Lean codebase: Super-linter doesn’t reinvent the wheel, and builds on top of established tools and standards, such as GNU Parallel.
- Extensive test suite: Super-linter includes an extensive test suite that covers every single linter and analyzer that Super-linter ships.
- Original design.
