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](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/collaborating-on-repositories-with-code-quality-features/about-status-checks).

The `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables work as follows:
- super-linter runs all supported linters by default.
- If you set any of the `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables to `true`, super-linter defaults to leaving any unset variable to false (only validate those languages).
- If you set any of the `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables to `false`, super-linter defaults to leaving any unset variable to true (only exclude those languages).
- If you set any of the `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables to both `true` and `false`, super-linter fails reporting an error.
that automatically greates a unique `GITHUB_TOKEN` secret for the workflow.
GitHub Actions imposes the following limitations on workflows:
- To avoid accidentally creating recursive workflow runs, the commit that
contains linting and formatting fixes
[doesn't create new workflow runs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#using-the-github_token-in-a-workflow).
- It restrict edits to GitHub Actions workflows files (in `.github/workflows`).
- It may fail pushing commits to protected branches.
To work around these limitations, you do the following:
1. [Create an authentication token with additional permissions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#granting-additional-permissions).
1. Grant the authentication token the
[`repo` and `workflow` permissions](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/authentication/permissions-required-for-fine-grained-personal-access-tokens).
1. Use the authentication token in the `actions/checkout` step:
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 0
token: ${{ secrets.SUPER_LINTER_TOKEN }}
```
This example assumes that you saved the authentication token in a secret
called `SUPER_LINTER_TOKEN`, but you can choose whatever name you prefer for
