Super-linter is a containerized collection of curated linters and code analyzers for many programming languages, runnable as a GitHub Action or standalone via any OCI-compatible container runtime. It validates and fixes source code to enforce consistent formatting and best practices across repositories.

Use cases

• run multiple linters in one CI step
• enforce code style across a polyglot repository
• add linting as a GitHub Actions status check
• lint a repo locally with Docker
• auto-fix formatting and lint issues
• set up consistent linting for a team

When to choose

• you want one tool covering many languages instead of configuring each linter
• you use GitHub Actions and want ready-made status checks
• you need a curated, non-overlapping linter set that runs in parallel

When to avoid

• you need fine-grained control over individual linter versions or configs
• you want minimal CI time and only one or two languages
• you cannot use Docker or OCI container runtimes in your environment
