## Why MegaLinter

Projects need to contain clean code in order to **avoid technical debt**, which makes **ongoing maintenance harder and more time-consuming**.

By using [**code formatters and code linters**](#supported-linters), you ensure that your **codebase is easier to read** and **follows best practices**, from kickoff through each step of the project lifecycle.

Not all developers use linters in their IDEs, which makes code reviews harder and longer to process.

By using **MegaLinter**, you'll enjoy the following benefits for your team:

- At **each pull request**, it **automatically analyzes all updated code across all languages**.
- By reading error logs, **developers learn best practices** for the languages they use.
- The [**MegaLinter documentation**](https://megalinter.io/) provides a **list of IDE plugins for each linter**, so developers know which linter and plugins to install.
- MegaLinter **works out of the box** after a [**quick setup**](#quick-start).
- **Formatting and fixes** can be automatically [**applied directly to the Git branch**](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/config-apply-fixes.md) or [**provided in reports**](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/reporters/UpdatedSourcesReporter.md).
- This tool is **100% open source** and **free for all uses** (personal, professional, public, and private repositories).
- MegaLinter can run on [**any CI tool**](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/install-assisted.md) and be [**run locally**](https://megalinter.io/mega-linter-runner/): **no need to authorize an external application**, and **your codebase never leaves your tooling ecosystem**.

Join a **continuously growing community**: MegaLinter Docker images are pulled **hundreds of thousands of times every month**.

---
-->
## Quick Start

- **With a coding agent**: install the [MegaLinter agent skills](https://megalinter.io/latest/install-agent-skills/) with `npx skills add oxsecurity/megalinter/skills`, then ask your agent to _"setup megalinter"_.
- **Or with the interactive wizard**: run `npx mega-linter-runner --install` to generate configuration files (you need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) installed).
- Commit, push, and create a pull request.
- Watch!

![Runner Install](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/blob/main/docs/assets/images/mega-linter-runner-generator.gif?raw=true)

**Notes**:

<!-- # MAJOR-RELEASE-IMPACTED -->

- This repo is a hard fork of [GitHub Super-Linter](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter), rewritten in Python to add [many additional features](#mega-linter-vs-super-linter).
- If you are a Super-Linter user, you can transparently **switch to MegaLinter and keep the same configuration** (just replace `super-linter/super-linter@v3` with `oxsecurity/megalinter@v10` in your GitHub Action YAML file, [like on this PR](https://github.com/nvuillam/npm-groovy-lint/pull/109)).
- If you want to use MegaLinter's extra features (recommended), please take 5 minutes to use the [assisted installation](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/install-assisted.md).
- For a beginner-friendly example of getting started with MegaLinter, check out [this blog post](https://ayyjohn.com/posts/linting-a-jekyll-blog-with-mega-linter) by Alec Johnson.

### Get started

Install the [MegaLinter agent skills](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/skills) at the root of your repository:

With **Claude Code** (the skills are copied directly into `.claude/skills/`):

```bash
npx skills add oxsecurity/megalinter/skills -s '*' -a claude-code -y
```

With **another coding agent**, replace `claude-code` with your agent's identifier (`cursor`, `github-copilot`, `codex`, `antigravity`, `opencode`... full list in the [skills CLI documentation](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills#supported-agents)) — or let the CLI **detect your installed agents** and install the skills for all of them at once:

```bash
npx skills add oxsecurity/megalinter/skills -s '*' -y --copy
```

Then just talk to your agent:

- _"Setup MegaLinter on this repo"_
- _"Run MegaLinter and fix the errors"_
- _"Why is the MegaLinter CI job failing? Fix it"_

### What the skills do

| **megalinter-fix**   | Fixes errors guided by a per-linter fix guide (one for each of the 124 linters, loaded only when its linter has errors), asks you before disabling rules or pushing |

### Sub-agents orchestration

On agents supporting sub-agents (Claude Code, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot custom agents...), `megalinter-setup` installs three sub-agents that keep large CI logs and linter outputs **out of your main agent's context**, and run on low-cost models when possible:

The fix guides combine information generated from the [linter descriptors](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/megalinter/descriptors) (auto-fix support, rules documentation URLs, MegaLinter tuning variables) with curated fix, inline-disable and ignore instructions grounded in each linter's official documentation.

### Safety rules

- Safe fixes are applied automatically; ambiguous ones are asked to you
- Disabling a linter or a rule always requires your confirmation
- Commits are never pushed to the default branch

See also the [installation page for coding agents](https://megalinter.io/latest/install-agent-skills/), or install everything at once as an [agent plugin](https://megalinter.io/latest/agent-plugins/).

title: Install and use MegaLinter with coding agents
description: Setup and drive MegaLinter from Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, Codex, OpenCode and other coding agents thanks to MegaLinter agent skills
---
-->
### Coding agents (skills)

MegaLinter ships [**agent skills**](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/skills) making it easy to drive from coding agents like **Claude Code, Cursor CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Codex, Antigravity or OpenCode**:

With **Claude Code** (the skills are copied directly into `.claude/skills/`):

```bash
npx skills add oxsecurity/megalinter/skills -s '*' -a claude-code -y
```

With **another coding agent**, replace `claude-code` with your agent's identifier (`cursor`, `github-copilot`, `codex`, `antigravity`, `opencode`... full list in the [skills CLI documentation](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills#supported-agents)) — or let the CLI **detect your installed agents** and install the skills for all of them at once:

```bash
npx skills add oxsecurity/megalinter/skills -s '*' -y --copy
```

Then just ask your agent to _"setup megalinter"_ or _"run megalinter and fix the errors"_. The skills handle:

- **megalinter-setup**: install or upgrade MegaLinter on the repository (non-interactive `npx mega-linter-runner --install`)
- **megalinter-check**: watch MegaLinter CI jobs (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, Bitbucket Pipelines) or run locally with Docker
- **megalinter-fix**: apply fixes guided by per-linter fix guides, with user confirmation before disabling anything or pushing
- **megalinter**: orchestrate the whole check → fix → re-check loop

On coding agents supporting sub-agents (Claude Code, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot custom agents...), dedicated MegaLinter sub-agents (running on low-cost models) watch CI jobs and digest linter outputs to keep large logs out of your agent's context, and fix several linters in parallel.

---
-->
## Coding Agents (Plugins)

The MegaLinter [agent skills](https://megalinter.io/latest/install-agent-skills/) are also published as an **agent plugin**, so a single command installs all four skills at once, and keeps them updated.

### Claude Code

```bash
/plugin marketplace add oxsecurity/megalinter
/plugin install megalinter@megalinter
```

The three MegaLinter sub-agents are installed with the plugin, so there is nothing else to set up.

### Cursor

Add `https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter` as a plugin source from **Customize → Plugins**, then install **MegaLinter**. The sub-agents ship with the plugin.

### GitHub Copilot

```bash
copilot plugin marketplace add oxsecurity/megalinter
copilot plugin install megalinter@megalinter
```

### Codex

```bash
codex plugin marketplace add oxsecurity/megalinter
```

Then install **MegaLinter** from the `/plugins` browser.

### Gemini CLI and Antigravity

```bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter
```

### Other coding agents

Every other agent (Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, Amp, OpenCode, Goose, OpenHands...) is covered by the [skills installation](https://megalinter.io/latest/install-agent-skills/) with `npx skills add oxsecurity/megalinter/skills`.

Once installed, just ask your agent to _"setup megalinter"_ or _"run megalinter and fix the errors"_.

### Assisted installation

Two assisted ways to setup MegaLinter on your repository:

- **With a coding agent**: install the [MegaLinter agent skills](https://megalinter.io/latest/install-agent-skills/) with `npx skills add oxsecurity/megalinter/skills`, then ask your agent to _"setup megalinter"_.
- **With the interactive wizard**: run `npx mega-linter-runner --install` at the root of your repository and answer questions, it will generate ready to use configuration files for MegaLinter :)

title: Selecting a MegaLinter version to use
description: You can use latest release or beta version of MegaLinter, know the differences !

-->
### Which version to use ?

<!-- # MAJOR-RELEASE-IMPACTED -->

> **Docker registry change (since v9.5.0)**: MegaLinter Docker images are **published only to GitHub Container Registry (`ghcr.io`)**. The Docker Hub registry (`docker.io/oxsecurity/megalinter`, formerly `oxsecurity/megalinter:*`) is **frozen at v9.4.0** until we implement OIDC-based publishing to Docker Hub.
> Docker Hub does not have v10 images: if you pull `oxsecurity/megalinter` from Docker Hub you will stay on v9.4.0. To get v10, switch your `image:` / `docker pull` references to `ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10` (same applies to `:beta` and all [flavor](#flavors) tags like `ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter-python:v10`).
> GitHub Action users (`uses: oxsecurity/megalinter@v10`) are not affected, as the action already pulls from `ghcr.io`.

The following instructions examples are using latest MegaLinter stable version (**v10** , always corresponding to the [latest release](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/releases))

- Docker image: `ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10`
- GitHub Action: `oxsecurity/megalinter@v10`

You can also use **beta** version (corresponding to the content of main branch)

- Docker image: `ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:beta`
- GitHub Action: `oxsecurity/megalinter@beta`

title: Install MegaLinter on GitHub Actions
description: Manual instructions to setup MegaLinter in a GitHub Action Workflow 
---
-->
### GitHub Action

1. Create a new file in your repository called `.github/workflows/mega-linter.yml`
2. Copy the [example workflow from below](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/main/TEMPLATES/mega-linter.yml) 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

**NOTES:**

- If you pass the _Environment_ variable `GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` in your workflow, then the **MegaLinter** 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's automatically set by GitHub, it only needs to be passed to the action.
- You can also **use it outside of GitHub Actions** (CircleCI, Azure Pipelines, Jenkins, GitLab, or even locally with a docker run) , and have status on Github Pull Request if `GITHUB_TARGET_URL` environment variable exists.

In your repository you should have a `.github/workflows` folder with **GitHub** Action similar to below:

- `.github/workflows/mega-linter.yml`

### GitLab CI

Create or update `.gitlab-ci.yml` file at the root of your repository

```yaml
# MegaLinter GitLab CI job configuration file
# More info at https://megalinter.io/

mega-linter:
  stage: test
  # You can override MegaLinter flavor used to have faster performances
  # More info at https://megalinter.io/flavors/
  image: ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10
  script: [ "true" ] # if script: ["true"] doesn't work, you may try ->  script: [ "/bin/bash /entrypoint.sh" ]
  variables:
    # All available variables are described in documentation
    # https://megalinter.io/configuration/
    DEFAULT_WORKSPACE: $CI_PROJECT_DIR
    # ADD YOUR CUSTOM ENV VARIABLES HERE TO OVERRIDE VALUES OF .mega-linter.yml AT THE ROOT OF YOUR REPOSITORY
  artifacts:
    when: always
    paths:
      - megalinter-reports
    expire_in: 1 week
```

Create a Gitlab access token and define it in a variable **GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN_MEGALINTER** in the project CI/CD masked variables. Make sure your token (e.g. if a project token) as the appropriate [role](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html) for commenting a merge request (at least developer).

title: Install MegaLinter on Azure Pipelines
description: Manual instructions to setup MegaLinter as an Azure Pipelines job
---
-->
### Azure Pipelines

Use the following Azure Pipelines [YAML template](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/yaml-schema)

You can configure a [build validation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/branch-policies?view=azure-devops&tabs=browser#build-validation) branch policy against a single repository or across all repositories. If you configure across all repositories then your pipeline is stored in a central repository.

#### Single Repository

Add the following to an `azure-pipelines.yaml` file within your code repository:

```yaml
  # Run MegaLinter to detect linting and security issues
  - job: MegaLinter
    pool:
      vmImage: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      # Checkout repo
      - checkout: self

      # Pull MegaLinter docker image
      - script: docker pull ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10
        displayName: Pull MegaLinter

      # Run MegaLinter
      - script: |
          docker run -v $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory):/tmp/lint \
            --env-file <(env | grep -e SYSTEM_ -e BUILD_ -e TF_ -e AGENT_) \
            -e SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN=$(System.AccessToken) \
            -e GIT_AUTHORIZATION_BEARER=$(System.AccessToken) \
            ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10
        displayName: Run MegaLinter

      # Upload MegaLinter reports
      - task: PublishPipelineArtifact@1
        condition: succeededOrFailed()
        displayName: Upload MegaLinter reports
        inputs:
          targetPath: "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/megalinter-reports/"
          artifactName: MegaLinterReport
```

#### Central Repository

Add the following to an `azure-pipelines.yaml` file within a separate repository, for example a 'MegaLinter' repository:

```yaml
# Run MegaLinter to detect linting and security issues

trigger: none

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

variables:
  repoName: $[ replace(split(variables['System.PullRequest.SourceRepositoryURI'], '/')[6], '%20', ' ') ]

steps:
  # Checkout triggering repo
  - checkout: git://$(System.TeamProject)/$(repoName)@$(System.PullRequest.SourceBranch)
    displayName: Checkout Triggering Repository

  # Pull MegaLinter docker image
  - script: docker pull ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10
    displayName: Pull MegaLinter

  # Run MegaLinter
  - script: |
      docker run -v $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory):/tmp/lint \
        --env-file <(env | grep -e SYSTEM_ -e BUILD_ -e TF_ -e AGENT_) \
        -e SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN=$(System.AccessToken) \
        -e GIT_AUTHORIZATION_BEARER=$(System.AccessToken) \
        ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10
    displayName: Run MegaLinter

  # Upload MegaLinter reports
  - task: PublishPipelineArtifact@1
    condition: succeededOrFailed()
    displayName: MegaLinter Report
    inputs:
      targetPath: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/megalinter-reports/
      artifactName: MegaLinterReport
```

#### Pull Request Comments

To enable Pull Request comments, follow the [configuration instructions](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/reporters/AzureCommentReporter.md).

Note: If your pipelines run on Azure DevOps but your source code is hosted on GitHub, and you want status reports to appear on GitHub, you must provide additional repository information to the pipeline. See this [example](https://github.com/firedigger/megalinter-azure-pipelines-with-github-repository) for guidance.

#### Detailed Tutorial

You can also follow this [detailed tutorial](https://github.com/DonKoning/megaLinter) by [DonKoning](https://github.com/DonKoning).

#### Alternative: Azure DevOps Extension (Community)

> **Note:** This is a community-maintained extension and is **not** affiliated with or maintained by the MegaLinter team.

As an alternative to the manual Docker configuration above, the community-maintained [megalinter-ado](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DownAtTheBottomOfTheMoleHole.megalinter-ado) Azure DevOps extension provides a native Azure Pipelines task for running MegaLinter.

Install from the [Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DownAtTheBottomOfTheMoleHole.megalinter-ado), then add the task to your pipeline:

```yaml
- task: MegaLinter@1
  displayName: Run MegaLinter
  inputs:
    flavor: all
    fix: true
    createFixPR: true
  env:
    SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN: $(System.AccessToken)
```

See the [extension repository](https://github.com/DownAtTheBottomOfTheMoleHole/megalinter-ado) for full configuration options.

### Jenkins

Add the following stage to your Jenkinsfile.

You may activate the [File.io reporter](https://megalinter.io/reporters/FileIoReporter/) or [Email reporter](https://megalinter.io/reporters/EmailReporter/) to access detailed logs and fixed sources.

```groovy
// Lint with MegaLinter: https://megalinter.io/
stage('MegaLinter') {
    agent {
        docker {
            image 'ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10'
            args "-u root -e VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE=true -v ${WORKSPACE}:/tmp/lint --entrypoint=''"
            reuseNode true
        }
    }
    steps {
        sh '/entrypoint.sh'
    }
    post {
        always {
            archiveArtifacts allowEmptyArchive: true, artifacts: 'mega-linter.log,megalinter-reports/**/*', defaultExcludes: false, followSymlinks: false
        }
    }
}
```

CloudBees has a helpful tutorial about how to use MegaLinter with Jenkins!

### PR Comment Reporting from Jenkins

When MegaLinter runs from a **Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline**, it can automatically post results as comments on pull requests / merge requests hosted on GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, or Bitbucket.

MegaLinter auto-detects the git hosting platform by inspecting the `GIT_URL` environment variable (provided by Jenkins Git plugin). It then maps Jenkins environment variables (`CHANGE_ID`, `GIT_COMMIT`, `BUILD_URL`, etc.) to the native CI variables each comment reporter expects.

#### Requirements

- **Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline** with the appropriate Branch Source plugin (GitHub Branch Source, GitLab Branch Source, or Bitbucket Branch Source)
- The pipeline must be triggered by a **pull request / merge request** (so `CHANGE_ID` is set by Jenkins)
- An **authentication token** for the target platform, stored as a Jenkins credential

#### Platform Configuration

| Platform     | Required Token Variable                                        | Notes                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
|--------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| GitHub       | `GITHUB_TOKEN` (recommended) — `PAT` only if strictly required | Prefer `GITHUB_TOKEN`. Personal Access Tokens (PAT) are **not recommended** due to recent supply-chain attacks on open-source projects; a leaked PAT can give attackers broad write access to your repository. Token needs `repo` scope (or `issues:write` + `pull-requests:write` for fine-grained tokens). |

#### Jenkinsfile Example with GitHub PR Comments

```groovy
// Lint with MegaLinter: https://megalinter.io/
stage('MegaLinter') {
    agent {
        docker {
            image 'ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10'
            args "-u root -e VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE=true -v ${WORKSPACE}:/tmp/lint --entrypoint=''"
            reuseNode true
        }
    }
    environment {
        GITHUB_TOKEN = credentials('github-token')
    }
    steps {
        sh '/entrypoint.sh'
    }
    post {
        always {
            archiveArtifacts allowEmptyArchive: true, artifacts: 'mega-linter.log,megalinter-reports/**/*', defaultExcludes: false, followSymlinks: false
        }
    }
}
```

#### Self-hosted / On-premise Platforms

MegaLinter detects the platform by looking for keywords in the `GIT_URL` hostname (e.g., `gitlab.mycompany.com` is detected as GitLab, `github.internal.corp.com` as GitHub).

If your self-hosted instance uses a hostname without the platform name (e.g., `git.mycompany.com`), set the `JENKINS_REPO_PLATFORM` environment variable to explicitly tell MegaLinter which platform to use:

```groovy
environment {
    JENKINS_REPO_PLATFORM = 'gitlab'  // or 'github', 'azure', 'bitbucket'
    GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN_MEGALINTER = credentials('gitlab-token')
}
```

#### Additional Variables

For most setups, MegaLinter derives all needed variables automatically. In rare cases, you may need to set additional platform-specific variables:

- **GitLab**: Set `CI_PROJECT_ID` if the project path cannot be parsed from `GIT_URL`
- **Azure DevOps**: Set `SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN` as a Jenkins credential

### Concourse

#### Pipeline step

Use the following job step in your pipeline template.

Note: Make sure you have a `job.plan.get` step that retrieves the `repo` containing your repository, as shown in the example.

<!-- # MAJOR-RELEASE-IMPACTED -->

```yaml
---

  - name: linting
    plan:
      - get: repo
      - task: linting
        config:
          platform: linux
          image_resource:
            type: docker-image
            source:
              repository: oxsecurity/megalinter
              tag: v10
          inputs:
            - name: repo
          run:
            path: bash
            args:
            - -cxe
            - |
              cd repo
              export DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=$(pwd)
              bash -ex /entrypoint.sh
              ## doing this because concourse doesn't work as other CI systems
          # params:
            # PARALLEL: true
            # DISABLE: SPELL
            # APPLY_FIXES: all
            # DISABLE_ERRORS: true
            # VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: true
```

OR

#### Use it as a reusable task

Create a reusable Concourse task that can be used with multiple pipelines.

1. Create task file `task-linting.yaml`

<!-- # MAJOR-RELEASE-IMPACTED -->

```yaml
---
platform: linux
image_resource:
  type: docker-image
  source:
    repository: oxsecurity/megalinter
    tag: v10

inputs:
- name: repo

## uncomment this if you want reports as task output
# output:
# - name: reports
#   path: repo/megalinter-reports

run:
  path: bash
  args:
  - -cxe
  - |
    cd repo
    export DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=$(pwd)
    bash -ex /entrypoint.sh
```

2. Use that `task-linting.yaml` task in your pipeline.

Note:

  1. Make sure `task-linting.yaml` is available in the `repo` input at the repository root.

  2. Task `output` is **not** shown here.

```yaml
resources:

  - name: linting
    plan:
      - get: repo
      - task: linting
        file: repo/task-linting.yaml
        # params:
        #   PARALLEL: true
        #   DISABLE: SPELL
        #   APPLY_FIXES: all
        #   DISABLE_ERRORS: true
        #   VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: true
```

### Drone CI

Warning: Drone CI support is experimental and is undergoing significant modifications (see issue [#2047](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/issues/2047)).

1. Create a `.drone.yml` file on the root directory of your repository

2. Copy and paste the following template:

```yaml
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: MegaLinter

workspace:
  path: /tmp/lint

steps:

- name: megalinter
  image: ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10
  environment:
    DEFAULT_WORKSPACE: /tmp/lint
```

This uses the [Drone CI Docker runner](https://docs.drone.io/pipeline/docker/overview/), so you need to install and configure it beforehand on your Drone CI server.

#### (Optional) Adjusting trigger rules

The Drone CI workflow should trigger automatically for most scenarios (push, pull request, sync…). However, you can optionally change this behavior by modifying the trigger. For example:

```yaml
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: MegaLinter

workspace:
  path: /tmp/lint

steps:

- name: megalinter
  image: ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10
  environment:
    DEFAULT_WORKSPACE: /tmp/lint

trigger:
  event:
  - push
```

The workflow above triggers only on push, and not in other situations. For more information about configuring Drone CI trigger rules, see the [documentation](https://docs.drone.io/pipeline/triggers/).

### Docker container

You can also run MegaLinter with its Docker container. Execute this command:

`docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw -v $(pwd):/tmp/lint:rw ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10`

No extra arguments are needed; however, MegaLinter will lint all files inside the `/tmp/lint` folder. You may need to configure your tool of choice to use `/tmp/lint` as its workspace.
This can be changed:

_Example:_

`docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw -v $(pwd):/example/folder:rw ghcr.io/oxsecurity/megalinter:v10`

title: MegaLinter configuration file
description: Use config file with auto-completion to customize MegaLinter behaviour
---
-->
### .mega-linter.yml file

MegaLinter configuration variables are defined in a **.mega-linter.yml** file at the root of the repository or with **environment variables**.
You can see an example config file in this repo: [**.mega-linter.yml**](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/blob/main/.mega-linter.yml).

Configuration is assisted with autocompletion and validation in most commonly used IDEs, thanks to the [JSON schema](https://megalinter.io/json-schemas/configuration.html) stored on [schemastore.org](https://www.schemastore.org/).

- VS Code: You need an extension like [Red Hat YAML](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-yaml).
- IntelliJ IDEA family: Autocompletion is supported natively.

You can also define variables as environment variables.
- If a variable exists in both ENV and the `.mega-linter.yml` file, priority is given to the ENV variable.

#### Linters timeout

By default, a linter still running after **5 minutes** (`LINTER_TIMEOUT_SECONDS: 300`) is killed with all its child processes and reported as an error (exit code 124), while the other linters keep running. Raise the limit, override it per linter, or disable it with `0`:

```yaml
LINTER_TIMEOUT_SECONDS: 3600 # Kill any linter still running after 1 hour
REPOSITORY_CHECKOV_TIMEOUT_SECONDS: 900 # Per-linter override
SPELL_LYCHEE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS: 0 # No timeout for this linter
```

A timeout hit with very low CPU usage usually means an I/O stall (for example a workspace bind-mounted from Windows into a WSL2-backed container engine), not a repository that really needs more time.

title: Configure activation and deactivation of linters within MegaLinter
description: You can enable, disable, make not blocking, allow a minimum number of errors...
---
-->
### Activation and deactivation

MegaLinter has all linters enabled by default, but allows enabling or disabling specific ones.

- If `ENABLE` isn't set, all descriptors are activated by default. If set, all linters of listed descriptors are activated by default.
- If `ENABLE_LINTERS` is set, only the listed linters are processed.
- If `DISABLE` is set, the linters in the listed descriptors are skipped.
- If `DISABLE_LINTERS` is set, the listed linters are skipped.
- If a linter is in both `ENABLE_LINTERS` and `DISABLE_LINTERS`, `ENABLE_LINTERS` wins by default. Set `ENABLE_DISABLE_LINTERS_PRIORITY: DISABLE` to make `DISABLE_LINTERS` override `ENABLE_LINTERS` instead (useful to trim an inherited `ENABLE_LINTERS` list when using `EXTENDS`).
- If `DISABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS` is set, the listed linters will run, but if errors are found, they will be considered non-blocking.
- If `ENABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS` is set, only the linters in this list will be considered blocking.


Examples:

- Run all javascript and groovy linters except STANDARD javascript linter. DevSkim errors will be non-blocking

```yaml
ENABLE: JAVASCRIPT,GROOVY
DISABLE_LINTERS: JAVASCRIPT_STANDARD
DISABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS: REPOSITORY_DEVSKIM
```

- Run all matching linters but only trivy is blocking

```yaml
ENABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS: REPOSITORY_TRIVY
```

- Run all linters except PHP linters (PHP_BUILTIN, PHP_PHPCS, PHP_PHPSTAN, PHP_PSALM)

```yaml
DISABLE: PHP
```

- Run all linters except PHP_PHPSTAN and PHP_PSALM linters

```yaml
DISABLE_LINTERS:
  - PHP_PHPSTAN
  - PHP_PSALM
```

- Inherit a shared `ENABLE_LINTERS` list via `EXTENDS` but skip one of the inherited linters locally

```yaml
EXTENDS: https://example.com/shared/.mega-linter.yml
ENABLE_DISABLE_LINTERS_PRIORITY: DISABLE
DISABLE_LINTERS:
  - PYTHON_PYLINT
```

title: Configure filtering of files analyzed by MegaLinter
description: Exclude files from linting
---
-->
### Filter linted files

If you need to lint only a folder or exclude some files from linting, you can use the optional environment parameters `FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE` and `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE`.
You can apply filters to a single linter by defining the variables `<LINTER_KEY>_FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE` and `<LINTER_KEY>_FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE`.

Examples:

- Lint only src folder: `FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE: (src/)`
- Don't lint files inside test and example folders: `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE: (test/|examples/)`
- Don't lint javascript files inside test folder: `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE: (test/.*\.js)`

Warning: Not applicable with linters using CLI lint mode `project` ([see details](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/config-cli-lint-mode.md)).

You can also use variable **ADDITIONAL_EXCLUDED_DIRECTORIES** to add more excluded directories

Example:

```yaml
ADDITIONAL_EXCLUDED_DIRECTORIES:
  - .wireit
  - dist
  - build
  - vendor
```

title: Configure auto-fixing of issues by MegaLinter
description: Use MegaLinter to auto apply corrections on your repository files
---
-->
### Apply fixes

MegaLinter can apply fixes provided by linters. To use this capability, you need three environment variables defined at the top level.

- **APPLY_FIXES**: `all` to apply fixes of all linters, or a list of linter keys (ex: `JAVASCRIPT_ES`,`MARKDOWN_MARKDOWNLINT`)

Only for the GitHub Actions workflow file, if you use it:

- **APPLY_FIXES_EVENT**: `all`, `push`, `pull_request`, `none` _(use none in case of use of [Updated sources reporter](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/reporters/UpdatedSourcesReporter.md))_
- **APPLY_FIXES_MODE**: `commit` to create a new commit and push it on the same branch, or `pull_request` to create a new PR targeting the branch.

#### Fail if sources are updated

If you do not want MegaLinter to commit the fixes, for example because you use the [Updated sources reporter](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/reporters/UpdatedSourcesReporter.md), set **FAIL_IF_UPDATED_SOURCES** to `true`: the run fails when sources have been updated by a linter, a formatter or a `POST_COMMANDS` command, so a developer commits the fixes.

- Only `true` and `false` are accepted. Any other value, including an empty CI variable (which overrides the value of `.mega-linter.yml`), disables the option and MegaLinter logs a warning
- The console log tells whether the option is active, and names it as the failure reason, even when other linters failed too
- The option takes precedence over `DISABLE_ERRORS`: the run exits with code 1, as the summary says
- Fixes applied by linters running in `project` lint mode are taken into account, as they are part of the Updated sources reporter ZIP

#### Apply fixes issues

You may see GitHub permission errors, or workflows not running on the new commit.

> **Security warning — Personal Access Tokens (PAT) are NOT recommended.**
> Open-source projects have been heavily targeted by supply-chain attacks in recent months, and a leaked or compromised PAT can give attackers broad write access to your repository — better safe than sorry!
> Before adding a `PAT` secret, ask yourself if you really need workflows to re-trigger automatically after MegaLinter pushes a fix commit. In most cases the simpler and safer workaround is enough:
>
> - **Manually re-run the failed workflow** from the GitHub Actions tab, or
> - **Push another commit** on the branch (even an empty one: `git commit --allow-empty -m "trigger CI"`) so GitHub re-runs the workflows.
>
> Only set up a PAT if you fully understand the trade-off. If you do, use a **fine-grained token scoped to a single repository** with the **minimum required permissions**, and rotate it regularly.

To solve these issues, apply one of the following solutions.

- Method 1: The most secured (still discouraged — read the warning above)
  - [Create a Fine-Grained Personal Access Token](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token#creating-a-fine-grained-personal-access-token), scoped only to your repository and with **Contents: Read/Write**, then copy the PAT value
  - [Define environment secret variable](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/encrypted-secrets#creating-encrypted-secrets-for-an-environment) named **PAT** on your repository, and paste the PAT value
  - Update your GitHub Actions workflow to add the environment name

-- Method 2: Easier, but **strongly discouraged** — any contributor with write access can see your Personal Access Token, so use it only on private repositories.
- [Create a Classic Personal Access Token](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token#creating-a-token), then copy the PAT value
- [Define secret variable](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets#creating-encrypted-secrets-for-a-repository) named **PAT** on your repository, and paste the PAT value

#### Notes

- You can use the [Updated sources reporter](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/reporters/UpdatedSourcesReporter.md) if you don't want fixes to be automatically applied on the Git branch. Instead, download them in a ZIP file and manually extract them into your project.
- If used, `APPLY_FIXES_EVENT` and `APPLY_FIXES_MODE` cannot be defined in the `.mega-linter.yml` config file; they must be set as environment variables.
- When only the updated files are linted (`VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: false`), MegaLinter fetches the base branch with git. In a private repository, use `persist-credentials: true` in `actions/checkout` or define `GIT_AUTHORIZATION_BEARER`: otherwise MegaLinter logs a warning and lints the whole codebase
- If you use `APPLY_FIXES`, add the following line to your `.gitignore` file:

```shell
megalinter-reports/
```

### Pre-commands

MegaLinter can run custom commands before running linters (for example, installing a plugin required by one of the linters you use).

Example in `.mega-linter.yml` config file

```yaml
PRE_COMMANDS:
  - command: npm install eslint-plugin-whatever
    cwd: root        # Will be run at the root of the MegaLinter Docker image
    secured_env: true  # True by default. If set to false, no global variables will be hidden (for example, if you need GITHUB_TOKEN)
    run_before_linters: True # Will be run before the execution of the linters themselves; required for npm/pip commands that cannot be run in parallel
  - command: echo "pre-test command has been called"
    cwd: workspace   # Will be run at the root of the workspace (usually your repository root)
    continue_if_failed: False  # Will stop the process if the command fails (return code > 0)
  - command: pip install flake8-cognitive-complexity
    venv: flake8 # Will be run within the flake8 Python virtualenv. There is one virtualenv per Python-based linter, with the same name
  - command: export MY_OUTPUT_VAR="my output var" && export MY_OUTPUT_VAR2="my output var2"
    output_variables: ["MY_OUTPUT_VAR","MY_OUTPUT_VAR2"] # Will collect the values of output variables and update MegaLinter's own ENV context
  - command: echo "Command using another ENV variable value"
    replacement_env_vars: # Copies the value of MY_SECRET_VAR into GITHUB_TOKEN, for this command only
      - var_src: MY_SECRET_VAR
        var_dest: GITHUB_TOKEN
  - command: echo "Some command called before loading MegaLinter plugins"
    cwd: workspace   # Will be run at the root of the workspace (usually your repository root)
    continue_if_failed: False  # Will stop the process if the command fails (return code > 0)
    tag: before_plugins # Tag indicating that the command will be run before loading plugins
  - command: echo "Some command called after running MegaLinter linters"
    run_after_linters: True # Will be run after the execution of the linters themselves
```

> **Note**: to keep them lightweight, MegaLinter images do not embed a compilation toolchain. If a pre-command needs to compile native code (e.g. a pip package distributed only as source), install the toolchain first within your pre-command: `apk add --no-cache gcc make musl-dev`.

### Post-commands

MegaLinter can run custom commands after running linters (for example, running additional tests).

Example in `.mega-linter.yml` config file

```yaml
POST_COMMANDS:
  - command: npm run test
    cwd: "workspace"   # Will be run at the root of the workspace (usually your repository root)
    continue_if_failed: False  # Will stop the process if the command fails (return code > 0)
```

-->
### Environment variables security

#### Secured env variables

MegaLinter runs in a Docker image and calls the linters via the command line to gather their results.

If you run it from your **CI/CD pipelines**, the Docker image may have **access to your environment variables, which can contain secrets** defined in CI/CD variables.

As it can be complicated to fully trust the authors of all open-source linters, **MegaLinter removes variables from the environment used to call linters**.

Thanks to this feature, you only need to [trust MegaLinter and its internal Python dependencies](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/blob/main/pyproject.toml); there is no need to trust all the linters that are used.

You can add secured variables to the default list using the configuration property `SECURED_ENV_VARIABLES` in `.mega-linter.yml` or as an environment variable (priority is given to ENV variables over the `.mega-linter.yml` property).

Values can be:

- String (ex: `MY_SECRET_VAR`)
- Regular Expression (ex: `(MY.*VAR)`)

Environment variables are secured for each command line called (linters, plugins, SARIF formatter, etc.) except for [PRE_COMMANDS](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/config-precommands.md), and only if you define `secured_env: false` in the command.

#### Secured configuration examples

- Example of adding extra secured variables in `.mega-linter.yml`:

```yaml
SECURED_ENV_VARIABLES:
  - MY_SECRET_TOKEN
  - ANOTHER_VAR_CONTAINING_SENSITIVE_DATA
  - OX_API_KEY
  - (MY.*VAR)  # Regex format
```

- Example of adding extra secured variables in CI variables, so they cannot be overridden in `.mega-linter.yml`:

```shell
SECURED_ENV_VARIABLES=MY_SECRET_TOKEN,ANOTHER_VAR_CONTAINING_SENSITIVE_DATA,OX_API_KEY
```

#### Default secured variables

If you override `SECURED_ENV_VARIABLES_DEFAULT`, it replaces the default list, so it's better to only define `SECURED_ENV_VARIABLES` to add items to the default list.

SECURED_ENV_VARIABLES_DEFAULT contains exact names and (regular expressions) matching patterns for commonly used sensitive environment variables:

- (^|_)(PAT)($|_)
- SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN
- (^|_)(USERNAME)($|_)
- (^|_)(PASSWORD|PASSWD|PASS|PWD)($|_)
- (^|_)(TOKEN|ID_TOKEN|ACCESS_TOKEN|REFRESH_TOKEN|BEARER)($|_)
- (^|_)(SECRET|SECRETS)($|_)
- (^|_)(API_KEY|APP_KEY|CLIENT_ID|CLIENT_SECRET|CLIENT_KEY|SECRET_KEY|ACCESS_KEY|ACCESS_KEY_ID|PRIVATE_KEY|SSH_KEY|SIGNING_KEY|ENCRYPTION_KEY|LICENSE_KEY)($|_)
- (^|_)(AUTH|AUTHORIZATION)($|_)
- (^|_)(CERT|CERTIFICATE|CA_BUNDLE|KUBECONFIG)($|_)
- (^|_)(CONNECTION_STRING|DATABASE_URL|DB_URL|DSN)($|_)
- (GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS)
- (GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT.*)
- (SFDX_CLIENT_ID_.*)
- (SFDX_CLIENT_KEY_.*)
- (^|_)(SLACK|DISCORD|TEAMS|WEBHOOK)_URL($|_)

This compact list is intentionally pattern-based: variables such as `GITHUB_TOKEN`, `CI_JOB_TOKEN`, `NPM_TOKEN`, `GIT_AUTHORIZATION_BEARER`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `DOCKER_PASSWORD`, `SMTP_PASSWORD`, `AZURE_PAT`, and `PAT_GITHUB_COM` are hidden through these broader matchers.

#### Security boundaries and threat model

When a linter or plugin command is executed, MegaLinter builds a child-process environment where matched sensitive variables are replaced with `HIDDEN_BY_MEGALINTER`.

This means:

- The original value of a matched environment variable is not accessible from that environment variable entry in the child process.

This does not mean full sandboxing. A malicious dependency can still attempt to collect secrets from other channels, such as:

- Unmatched variables (for example after custom overrides of `SECURED_ENV_VARIABLES_DEFAULT`)
- Variables explicitly unhidden with `(linter-key)_UNSECURED_ENV_VARIABLES`
- Files mounted in the workspace, command arguments, or generated config files
- External credential sources (cloud metadata services, secret managers, network endpoints)

To maximize protection:

- Keep `SECURED_ENV_VARIABLES_DEFAULT` unchanged when possible
- Add your project-specific patterns with `SECURED_ENV_VARIABLES`
- Minimize extra credentials exposed to the MegaLinter runtime

Example (compromised dependency scenario):

- If a linter dependency (for example `axios`) is compromised and executes malicious code, it can read the environment passed to that linter process.
- In that environment, matched variables are already replaced by `HIDDEN_BY_MEGALINTER`.
- So reading `GITHUB_TOKEN`, `NPM_TOKEN`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` from the process environment returns `HIDDEN_BY_MEGALINTER`, not the original secret value.
- The same attack could still try to obtain secrets from other channels listed above (files, arguments, external services, etc.).

#### Unhide variables for linters

You can configure exceptions for a specific linter by defining `(linter-key)_UNSECURED_ENV_VARIABLES`.

title: Override the way linters are called by MegaLinter
description: Cli lint mode can be list_of_files, project or files
---
-->
### CLI lint mode

Each linter is preconfigured to use a default lint mode, which is visible in the MegaLinter documentation ([example](https://megalinter.io/latest/descriptors/repository_trivy/#how-the-linting-is-performed)). The possible values are:

- `list_of_files`: The linter is called only once, and passed a list of all the files to be processed
- `project`: The linter is called only once, from the root folder of the repository, and it scans for the files to process, as no file names are provided to it
- `file`: The linter is called once per file, which hurts performance

You can override the CLI_LINT_MODE by using a configuration variable for each linter (see the [linters documentation](https://megalinter.io/supported-linters/)).

- Linters that default to the `file` lint mode cannot be overridden to use the `list_of_files` lint mode.
- Linters that default to the `project` lint mode cannot be overridden to use either the `list_of_files` or `file` lint modes.

Allowing `file` or `list_of_files` to be overridden to `project` is mostly for workarounds. For example, some linters have a problem finding their config file when the current folder isn't the repository root.

Special considerations:

- Linters that are configured to use the `project` lint mode ignore variables like `FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE` and `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE`, as they are not passed a list of files to lint. For those linters, you must check their documentation to see if a linter can be configured to ignore specific files. For example, the [Secretlint](https://megalinter.io/latest/descriptors/repository_secretlint/) linter ignores files listed in `~/.secretlintignore` by default, or it can be configured to instead ignore files listed in `~/.gitignore` by setting `REPOSITORY_SECRETLINT_ARGUMENTS` to `--secretlintignore .gitignore.`

title: MegaLinter Flavors for better performances
description: Use one of the numerous MegaLinter flavors to run MegaLinter even faster with only the linters you need
---
-->
## Flavors

To improve run performance, we provide **flavored MegaLinter images** containing only the linters related to a project type.

- When using the default MegaLinter, if a MegaLinter flavor would cover all your project requirements, a message is added in the logs.
- If your project uses a MegaLinter flavor that doesn't cover linter requirements, an error message will be thrown with instructions on how to solve the issue.

_The following table doesn't display docker pulls from [MegaLinter v4 & v5 images](https://hub.docker.com/r/nvuillam/mega-linter)._

<!-- flavors-table-end -->

If you need a new flavor, [post an issue](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/issues) :wink:

You can also generate your own [custom flavors](https://megalinter.io/beta/custom-flavors/) to include exactly the linters you need in your MegaLinter Docker image.

## Plugins

For performance and security reasons, we cannot embed every linter in MegaLinter.

But our core architecture allows building and publishing MegaLinter plugins!

> Note: Using an external plugin means you trust its author.

Submit a Pull Request if you want your plugin to appear here :)

### Use external plugins

Add plugin URLs in the `PLUGINS` property of `.mega-linter.yml`. URLs must either begin with "https://" or take the form of "file://\<path\>", where \<path\> points to a valid plugin descriptor file.

> Note: Both \<path\> and the default mount directory (/tmp/lint/\<path\>) will be checked for a valid descriptor.

#### Example

```yaml
PLUGINS:
  - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kpj/jupyfmt/master/mega-linter-plugin-jupyfmt/jupyfmt.megalinter-descriptor.yml
  - file://.automation/test/mega-linter-plugin-test/test.megalinter-descriptor.yml
```

### Create your own plugin

You can implement your own descriptors and load them as plugins during MegaLinter runtime.

- Descriptor format is exactly the same as [MegaLinter embedded ones](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/megalinter/descriptors) ([see JSON schema documentation](https://megalinter.io/json-schemas/descriptor.html))
- Plugin descriptor files must be named **\*\*.megalinter-descriptor.yml** and conform to the [MegaLinter JSON Schema](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/blob/main/megalinter/descriptors/schemas/megalinter-descriptor.jsonschema.json)
- Plugins must be hosted in a URL containing **\*\*/mega-linter-plugin-\*\*/**
- File URLs must conform to the same directory and file naming criteria as defined above.

#### Limitations

- For now, the only `install` attributes managed are `dockerfile` instructions starting by `RUN`

### Community Tools

Beyond plugins, the community has built additional tools that integrate with MegaLinter. These are independently maintained and **not** affiliated with the MegaLinter team.

title: Frequently Asked Questions about MegaLinter
description: List of recurrent questions about MegaLinter
---
-->
## Frequently Asked Questions

> My repo CI already has linters and they're working perfectly, so why do I need MegaLinter?

You can continue using your installed linters and deactivate them in `.mega-linter.yml`. For example, in a JavaScript project using ESLint, configure MegaLinter with `DISABLE: JAVASCRIPT`. That way, you will benefit from both your installed linters and other MegaLinter linters checking JSON, YAML, Markdown, Dockerfile, Bash, spelling mistakes, dead URLs…

> OK but… how does it work?

MegaLinter is based on Docker images containing either all linters, or a selection of linters if you use a MegaLinter flavor for a project with a specific language or format.

The core architecture does the following:

- **Initialization**
  - **List all project files**:
    - except files in ignored folders (`node_modules`, etc…)
    - except files not matching `FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE` (if defined by user)
    - except files matching `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE` (if defined by user)
  - **Collect files for each activated linter**, matching their **own filtering criteria**:
    - file extensions
    - file names
    - file content
    - `<descriptor_or_linter_key>_FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE` (if defined by user)
    - `<descriptor_or_linter_key>_FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE` (if defined by user)
- **Linting**
  - **Parallelly**, for **each linter** with matching files:
    - **Call the linter** on matching files (or the whole project for some linters like copy-paste detector)
    - Call activated **linter-level reporters** (GitHub Status Reporter…)
- **Finalization**
  - Call activated **global level reporters** (GitHub Pull Request Comment Reporter, File.io Reporter, Email Reporter…)
  - Manage return code:
    - **0** if no error (or only non blocking errors if user defined `DISABLE_ERRORS` or `<descriptor_or_linter_key>_DISABLE_ERRORS`)
    - **1** if errors

> I run MegaLinter on an ARM machine (Apple Silicon, ARM CI runner) and linters crash randomly

MegaLinter Docker images are published for **linux/amd64 only**, and `mega-linter-runner` explicitly requests that platform, so on an ARM host the whole container runs through **emulation** (QEMU or Rosetta).

Emulation is a known source of random crashes that are **not** MegaLinter bugs: linters exit with `Segmentation fault`, `Killed`, or `qemu: uncaught target signal 11`, often on a different linter at each run.

If you hit this:

- Prefer running MegaLinter in your **CI** (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI…) on an amd64 runner, where no emulation happens
- Reduce parallelism with `PARALLEL_PROCESS_NUMBER: 1` in `.mega-linter.yml`, which makes some emulation issues disappear
- Build a [custom flavor](https://megalinter.io/latest/custom-flavors/) for `linux/arm64` if you need a native local image

### Open-source teams

MegaLinter obviously would not exist without its linters and libraries: many thanks to all the dedicated open-source teams maintaining these awesome linters!

### Super-Linter team

MegaLinter has been built on the ashes of a [rejected Pull Request](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter/pull/791){target=_blank} on [GitHub Super-Linter](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter){target=_blank}.

Even if I disagree with their decision to remain in Bash, the core team has always been nice and supportive [during the time I was a Super-Linter contributor](https://github.com/super-linter/super-linter/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+author%3Anvuillam+review%3Aapproved){target=_blank} :)

## MegaLinter vs Super-Linter

The hard fork of Super-Linter to Python isn't just a language switch: Python's flexibility and libraries enabled many additional features described below.

### Security

MegaLinter [hides many environment variables](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/config-variables-security.md) when calling the linters.

That way you need to trust only MegaLinter core code with your secrets, not the 100+ embedded linters !

### Performance

- [MegaLinter flavors](#flavors) allow using smaller Docker images, reducing pull time.
- Thanks to Python multiprocessing, linters are run in parallel, which is much faster than Super-Linter's Bash script that runs all linters sequentially.
- When the linter allows it, call it once with N files, instead of calling it N times with one file.

### More languages and formats linted

- **C**, **C++**, **Copy-Paste detection**, **Credentials**, **GraphQL**, **JSON & YAML with JSON schemas**, **Markdown tables formatting**, **Puppet**, **reStructuredText**, **Rust**, **Scala**, **Spell checker**, **Swift**, **Visual Basic .NET** …

### Automatically apply formatting and fixes

MegaLinter can [automatically apply fixes performed by linters](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/docs/config-apply-fixes.md) and push them to the same branch, or create a Pull Request that you can validate.

This is pretty handy, especially for linter errors related to formatting (in that case, you don't have any manual update to perform)

### Run locally

MegaLinter can be run locally thanks to [mega-linter-runner](https://megalinter.io/mega-linter-runner/).

### Reports

#### Capabilities

- Accuracy: Count the total number of errors, not only the number of files in error.
- Show linter version and applied filters for each linter processed.
- Reports stored as artifacts on GitHub Actions runs or other remote files
  - General log
  - One report file by linter

### Enhanced configuration

- Assisted installation and configuration using a Yeoman generator and JSON schemas for the configuration file

![Runner Install](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/blob/main/docs/assets/images/mega-linter-runner-generator.gif?raw=true)

![Assisted configuration](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/raw/main/docs/assets/images/assisted-configuration.gif)

- Configure include and exclude regexes for a single language or linter: e.g., `JAVASCRIPT_FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE (src)`
- Configure additional CLI arguments for a linter: e.g., `JAVASCRIPT_ES_ARGUMENTS "--debug --env-info"`
- Configure non-blocking errors for a single language or linter: e.g., `JAVASCRIPT_DISABLE_ERRORS`
- Simplified languages and linters variables
  - ENABLE = list of languages and formats to apply lint on codebase (default: all)
  - ENABLE_LINTERS = list of linters to apply lint on codebase (default: all)
  - DISABLE = list of languages and formats to skip (default: none)
  - DISABLE_LINTERS = list of linters to skip (default: none)
  - Variables VALIDATE_XXX are still taken in account (but should not be used in association with ENABLE and DISABLE variables)

### Enhanced documentation

- [HTML documentation](https://megalinter.io/)

![HTML doc home](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/raw/main/docs/assets/images/html_doc_home.jpg)

- One page per linter documentation:
  - **All variables** that can be used with this linter
  - List of **file extensions, names and filters** applied by the linter
  - Link to MegaLinter default linter configuration
  - Link to linter website
  - Link to official page explaining **how to customize the linter rules**

- Installation links for related IDEs

![HTML doc IDE](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/raw/main/docs/assets/images/html_doc_ide.jpg)

- README
  - Separate languages, formats, and tooling formats in the linters table
  - Add logos for each descriptor

### Plugin management

For less commonly used linters, MegaLinter offers a plugin architecture so anyone can publish plugins.

### Simplify architecture and evolutionary maintenance

- Refactoring runtime in Python, for easier handling than Bash thanks to [classes](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/megalinter) and Python modules
- Everything related to each linter is in a [single descriptor YAML file](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/megalinter/descriptors)
  - Easier ongoing maintenance
  - Fewer conflicts to manage between PRs
  - A few special cases require a [Python linter class](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/tree/main/megalinter/descriptors))
- [Default behaviors for all linters](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/blob/main/megalinter/Linter.py), with the possibility to override parts of them for special cases
- Hierarchical architecture: Apply fixes and new behaviors to all linters with a single code update
- Documentation as code
  - Generate linters tables (ordered by type: language, format, and tooling format) and include them in the README. [(see result)](https://megalinter.io/supported-linters/)
  - Generate one markdown file per linter, containing all configuration variables, information, and examples [(see examples)](https://megalinter.io/descriptors/javascript_eslint/)
- Automatic generation of Dockerfiles using YAML descriptors, always using the linter's latest version
  - Dockerfile commands (FROM, ARG, ENV, COPY, RUN)
  - APK packages (Linux)
  - NPM packages (Node.js)
  - PIP packages (Python)
  - GEM packages (Ruby)
  - Phive packages (PHP)
- Have a centralized exclude list (node_modules, .rbenv, etc.)

### Improve robustness & stability

- Test classes for each capability
- Test classes for each linter: automatic generation of test classes using [.automation/build.py](https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/blob/main/.automation/build.py)
- Set up code coverage [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/oxsecurity/megalinter/branch/main/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/oxsecurity/megalinter)
- Development CI/CD
  - Validate multi-status on PR inside each PR (posted from step "Run against all code base")
  - Run test classes and code coverage with pytest during validation GitHub Action
  - Validate descriptor YML files with json schema during build
  - Automated job to upgrade linters to their latest stable version
