# Super-Linter
|
|
|
|
This repository is for the **GitHub Action** to run a **Super-Linter**.
|
|
It is a simple combination of various linters, written in `bash`, to help validate your source code.
|
|
|
|
**The end goal of this tool:**
|
|
|
|
- Prevent broken code from being uploaded to the default branch (_Usually_ `master`)
|
|
- Help establish coding best practices across multiple languages
|
|
- Build guidelines for code layout and format
|
|
- Automate the process to help streamline code reviews
|
|
|

## How it Works
|
|
|
|
The super-linter finds issues and reports them to the console output. Fixes are suggested in the console output but not automatically fixed, and a status check will show up as failed on the pull request.
|
|
|
|
The design of the **Super-Linter** is currently to allow linting to occur in **GitHub Actions** as a part of continuous integration occurring on pull requests as the commits get pushed. It works best when commits are being pushed early and often to a branch with an open or draft pull request. There is some desire to move this closer to local development for faster feedback on linting errors but this is not yet supported.
|
|
|
|
## Supported Linters

## How to use
|
|
|
|
More in-depth [tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDAmFKO4Zt0&t=118s) available
|
|
|
|
To use this **GitHub** Action you will need to complete the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new file in your repository called `.github/workflows/linter.yml`
|
|
2. Copy the example workflow from below into that new file, no extra configuration required
|
|
3. Commit that file to a new branch
|
|
4. Open up a pull request and observe the action working
|
|
5. Enjoy your more _stable_, and _cleaner_ code base
|
|
6. Check out the [Wiki](https://github.com/github/super-linter/wiki) for customization options
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** If you pass the _Environment_ variable `GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` in your workflow, then the **GitHub Super-Linter** will mark the status of each individual linter run in the Checks section of a pull request. Without this you will only see the overall status of the full run. There is no need to set the **GitHub** Secret as it is automatically set by GitHub, it only needs to be passed to the action.
|
|
|
|
### Example connecting GitHub Action Workflow
|
|
|
|
In your repository you should have a `.github/workflows` folder with **GitHub** Action similar to below:
|
|
|
|
- `.github/workflows/linter.yml`
|
|
|
|
This file should have the following code:
|
|
|
|
```yml

### Add Super-Linter badge in your repository README
|
|
|
|
You can show Super-Linter status with a badge in your repository README
|

[![GitHub Super-Linter](https://github.com/<OWNER>/<REPOSITORY>/workflows/Lint%20Code%20Base/badge.svg)](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/super-linter)

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Note:_ IF you did not use `Lint Code Base` as GitHub Action name, please read [GitHub Actions Badges documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/configuring-a-workflow#adding-a-workflow-status-badge-to-your-repository)
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
The super-linter allows you to pass the following `ENV` variables to be able to trigger different functionality.
|
|
|
|
_Note:_ All the `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables behave in a very specific way:
|
|
|
|
- If none of them are passed, then they all default to true.
|
|
- If any one of the variables are set to true, we default to leaving any unset variable to false (only validate those languages).
|
|
- If any one of the variables are set to false, we default to leaving any unset variable to true (only exclude those languages).
|
|
- If there are `VALIDATE_[LANGUAGE]` variables set to both true and false. It will fail.
|
|
|
|
This means that if you run the linter "out of the box", all languages will be checked.
|
|
But if you wish to select or exclude specific linters, we give you full control to choose which linters are run, and won't run anything unexpected.

You can use the **GitHub** **Super-Linter** _with_ or _without_ your own personal rules sets. This allows for greater flexibility for each individual code base. The Template rules all try to follow the standards we believe should be enabled at the basic level.
|
|
|
|
- Copy **any** or **all** template rules files from `TEMPLATES/` into your repository in the location: `.github/linters/` of your repository
|
|
- If your repository does not have rules files, they will fall back to defaults in [this repository's `TEMPLATE` folder](https://github.com/github/super-linter/tree/master/TEMPLATES)
|
|
|
|
## Disabling rules
|
|
|
|
If you need to disable certain _rules_ and _functionality_, you can view [Disable Rules](https://github.com/github/super-linter/blob/master/docs/disabling-linters.md)
|
|
|
|
## Filter linted files
|
|
|
|
If you need to lint only a folder or exclude some files from linting, you can use optional environment parameters `FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE` and `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE`
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- Lint only src folder: `FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE: .*src/.*`
|
|
- Do not lint files inside test folder: `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE: .*test/.*`
|
|
- Do not lint javascript files inside test folder: `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE: .*test/.*.js`

## Run Super-Linter outside GitHub Actions
|
|
|
|
### Local (troubleshooting/debugging/enhancements)
|
|
|
|
If you find that you need to run super-linter locally, you can follow the documentation at [Running super-linter locally](https://github.com/github/super-linter/blob/master/docs/run-linter-locally.md)
|
|
|
|
Check out the [note](#how-it-works) in **How it Works** to understand more about the **Super-Linter** linting locally versus via continuous integration.

We will also support [GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces/) once it becomes available
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
Below are a list of the known limitations for the **GitHub Super-Linter**:
|
|
|
|
- Due to being completely packaged at run time, you will not be able to update dependencies or change versions of the enclosed linters and binaries
|
|
- Additional details from `package.json` are not read by the **GitHub Super-Linter**
|
|
- Downloading additional codebases as dependencies from private repositories will fail due to lack of permissions
|
|
|
