Behind the scenes

How are identified applicable files

  • Activated only if one of these files is found: goodcheck.yml
  • If this linter is active, all files will always be linted

How the linting is performed

goodcheck 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 goodcheck configuration or ignore file (if existing)
  • VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: false does not make goodcheck analyze only updated files

Example calls

goodcheck check

goodcheck check -c goodcheck.yml
