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.

You can also generate your own custom flavors to include exactly the linters you need in your MegaLinter Docker image.
