How to use

To use this GitHub Action you will need to complete the following:

• Copy any or all template rules files from TEMPLATES/ into your repository in the location: .github/linters/
  • If your repository does not have rules files, they will fall back to defaults in this repositories TEMPLATE folder
• Add the Github Action: Super-Linter to your current Github Actions workflow
• Enjoy your more stable, and cleaner code base

Example connecting GitHub Action Workflow

In your repository you should have a workflows folder with GitHub Action similar to below:

• .github/workflows/linter.yml

This file should have the following code:
