lintr is an R package providing static code analysis for R, checking style adherence, syntax errors, and possible semantic issues. It is highly configurable and integrates with editors and CI pipelines.

Use cases

  • lint R code for style violations
  • enforce a style guide across an R project
  • catch syntax errors and suspicious code in R scripts
  • add automated code checks to CI for R packages
  • customize linter rules for a team's coding standards

When to choose

  • you write R code and want automated style and correctness checks
  • you maintain an R package and want linting in CI
  • you need configurable, extensible lint rules for R

When to avoid

  • you need linting for languages other than R
  • you want an auto-formatter rather than a linter (consider styler instead)
