MegaLinter is an open-source code quality tool that runs over 50 linters and formatters covering 50 languages, 22 formats, and 21 tooling formats in a single pass, detecting security issues, spelling mistakes, and copy-pasted code. It can be run via GitHub Action, other CI systems (GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure Pipelines), or locally, with autofix and SARIF report support.

Use cases

• lint all languages in my repository with one CI step
• automatically fix code style issues across a monorepo
• scan my repo for security issues and spelling mistakes in CI
• generate SARIF reports for code quality in GitHub
• run linters locally before pushing
• enforce code quality best practices across python java and golang projects
• lint terraform and markdown files in a pipeline

When to choose

• you want a single tool to aggregate many linters across polyglot repositories
• you need CI integration with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure Pipelines
• you want automatic fixes and SARIF security reporting out of the box

When to avoid

• you only need one language-specific linter with fine-grained configuration
• you cannot use Docker or Node.js in your environment
• you require a permissive license (it is AGPL-3.0)
