# Using your own rules files
If your repository contains your own rules files that live outside of a ``.github/linters/`` directory, you will have to tell Super-Linter where your rules files are located in your repository, and what their filenames are.
You can tell Super-Linter where your rules files are located with the ``LINTER_RULES_PATH`` ENV VAR, and you can tell Super-Linter what their filenames are by using any of the filename ENV VARS listed in the [Environment variables table](/README.md#Environment-variables). You can determine which ENV VARS are filename ENV VARS by looking in the notes column for the term "filename."
## Here is an example
Below is an example of how to configure the ``env`` section of Super-Linter's ``linter.yml`` to lint JavaScript and CSS code using ``eslint`` and ``stylelint`` with your own ``.eslintrc.json`` and ``.stylelintrc.json`` rules files that are located in the root directory of your repository.
``` yaml
env:
VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: false
DEFAULT_BRANCH: master
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
LINTER_RULES_PATH: /
CSS_FILE_NAME: .styelintrc.json
JAVASCRIPT_ES_CONFIG_FILE: .eslintrc.json
VALIDATE_CSS: true
VALIDATE_JAVASCRIPT_ES: true
```
The above example tells Super-Linter:
a) Your rules files are located in your repository's root directory using the ``LINTER_RULES_PATH: /`` ENV VAR.
b) Your eslint and stylelint rules files are named ``.stylelintrc.json`` and ``.eslintrc.json`` using the ``CSS_FILE_NAME: .styelintrc.json`` and ``JAVASCRIPT_ES_CONFIG_FILE: .eslintrc.json`` ENV VARS.
c) To use ``stylelint`` and ``eslint`` to lint all CSS and JavaScript code using the ``VALIDATE_CSS: true`` and ``VALIDATE_JAVASCRIPT_ES: true`` ENV VARS.
