Behind the scenes

How are identified applicable files

Activated only if one of these files is found: .swiftlint.yml
File extensions: .swift

How the linting is performed

swiftlint is called once on the whole project directory (project CLI lint mode)

filtering can not be done using MegaLinter configuration variables,it must be done using swiftlint configuration or ignore file (if existing)
VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: false doesn't make swiftlint analyze only updated files

Example calls

docker run -v /tmp/lint:/tmp/lint:rw norionomura/swiftlint:latest swiftlint lint --path /tmp/lint --strict

docker run -v /tmp/lint:/tmp/lint:rw norionomura/swiftlint:latest swiftlint --fix --path /tmp/lint --strict
