- **Widely used**: Super-linter is the
[most widely used](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter/network/dependents)
and [forked](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter/forks) project of
this kind.
- **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](#get-started) and
[other runtime environments](#run-using-a-container-runtime-engine), 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](https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/).
- **Extensive test suite**: Super-linter includes and extensive test suite that
covers every single linter and analyzer that Super-linter ships.
- **Original design**: to the best of our knowledge, Super-linter is the first
open-source, fully-containerized linting suite. Other projects borrow ideas
and design choices from Super-linter (and we're cool with that :).
