Plugins

For security reasons, we try to embed in MegaLinter only linters that are widely adopted by open-source community.

But any linter can be callable within MegaLinter thanks to the plugin mechanism !

Use plugins

Just add plugin URLs in PLUGINS property of .mega-linter.yml

Example

PLUGINS:
  - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/megalinter/megalinter/main/.automation/test/mega-linter-plugin-test/test.megalinter-descriptor.yml
  - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cookiejar/mega-linter-plugin-cookietemple/main/cookietemple.megalinter-descriptor.yml

Plugins Catalog

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

Create plugins

You can implement your own descriptors and load them as plugins during Mega-Linter runtime

• Plugins descriptor files must be named **.megalinter-descriptor.yml and respect Mega-Linter Json Schema
• Descriptor format is exactly the same than Mega-Linter embedded ones (see json schema documentation)
• Plugins must be hosted in a url containing **/mega-linter-plugin-**/

Limitations

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