## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: linter, ci-cd, developer-tools, formatter
- domain: developer-tools, testing
- platform: cli, windows
- tags: github-action, multi-language, code-quality, containerized, static-analysis, devops, docker, linux, macos
