ktlint
An anti-bikeshedding Kotlin linter with built-in formatter
No configuration, which means no decisions to make, nothing to argue about and no special files to manage. While this might sound extreme, keep in mind that ktlint tries to capture (reflect) official code style from kotlinlang.org and Android Kotlin Style Guide (+ we respect your .editorconfig and support additional ruleset|s). Built-in formatter. So that you wouldn't have to fix all style violations by hand. Customizable output. plain (+ plain?group_by_file), JSON, HTML and check style reporters are available out-of-the-box. It's also easy to create your own. A single executable jar with all dependencies included. ktlint is a single binary with both linter & formatter included. All you need is to drop it in (no need to get overwhelmed while choosing among dozens of code style options). -

Dockle
Container Image Linter for Security
Container Image Linter for Security, Helping build the Best-Practice Docker Image, Easy to start. You can install dockle with the asdf version manager with this plugin, which automates the process of installing (and switching between) various versions of github release binaries. With asdf already installed, run commands to install dockle. You can scan your built image with Dockle in Travis CI/CircleCI. Though, you can ignore the specified target checkpoints by using .dockleignore file. Or, if you just want the results to display and not let the test fail for this, specify --exit-code to 0 in dockle command. -

Optic
Generate, Diff, and Test OpenAPI Descriptions
Vizualize API changes to improve the quality of reviews. Test API changes to ensure nothing bad slips through. OpenAPI diffs are difficult to read. Because these files contain references, small changes can have a large effect on your API. Linters can not check for backward compatibility or enforce versioning and deprecation policies. Optic adds a visual changelog to every Pull Request that makes it easy to see exactly what API changes have been proposed. Optic tests each set of API changes in CI, making it more powerful than a linter. Our built-in checks will help any team ship a more reliable API. OpenAPI diffs are very difficult to review, comprehend and give feedback on. Optic’s changelogs are easy to understand allowing anyone (even non-developers) to participate in review. Optic goes beyond linting OpenAPI, it lets you write test about each set of API changes. We also make it easy to share your API standards. -

Pylint
It's not just a linter that annoys you!
Pylint is a static code analyzer for Python 2 or 3. The latest version supports Python 3.7.2 and above. Pylint analyses your code without actually running it. It checks for errors, enforces a coding standard, looks for code smells, and can make suggestions about how the code could be refactored. Projects that you might want to use alongside pylint include flake8 (faster and simpler checks with very few false positives), mypy, pyright or pyre (typing checks), bandit (security-oriented checks), black and isort (auto-formatting), autoflake (automated removal of unused import or variable), pyupgrade (automated upgrade to newer python syntax) and pydocstringformatter (automated pep257). Pylint isn't smarter than you: it may warn you about things that you have conscientiously done or checks for some things that you don't care about. During adoption, especially in a legacy project where pylint was never enforced. -

Ultracite
A highly opinionated, zero-configuration linter and formatter
Ultracite is a highly opinionated, zero-configuration linting and formatting preset designed primarily for modern JavaScript/TypeScript codebases. It is built on top of the Biome toolchain (written in Rust) and aims to deliver sub-second performance so that formatting and linting feel seamless, even on large projects. Because it comes pre-configured with sensible defaults for frameworks like React and Next.js, developers can adopt it with minimal setup—simply run npx ultracite init and start coding. The project emphasizes type-safety and best practices, enforcing stricter rules out of the box so that unsafe or sloppy patterns are discouraged. It also positions itself as “AI-ready,” meaning it’s designed to integrate smoothly into workflows where AI code generation (e.g., from Copilot, Claude Code, etc) is involved, ensuring consistent style across team-written and machine-written code. -

Angular ESLint
Monorepo for all the tooling related to using ESLint with Angular
Monorepo for all the tooling which enables ESLint to lint Angular projects. Follow the latest Getting Started guide on angular.io in order to install the Angular CLI. Create a new Angular CLI workspace in the normal way, optionally using any of the supported command line arguments and following the interactive prompts. As well as installing all relevant dependencies, the ng add command will automatically detect that you have a workspace with a single project in it, which does not have a linter configured yet. It can therefore go ahead and wire everything up for you! -

Ansible-lint
Best practices checker for Ansible
Ansible Lint is a command-line tool for linting playbooks, roles and collections aimed towards any Ansible users. Its main goal is to promote proven practices, patterns and behaviors while avoiding common pitfalls that can easily lead to bugs or make code harder to maintain. Ansible lint is also supposed to help users upgrade their code to work with newer versions of Ansible. Due to this reason we recommend using it with the newest version of Ansible, even if the version used in production may be older. As any other linter, it is opinionated. Still, its rules are the result of community contributions and they can always be disabled based individually or by category by each user. ansible-lint checks playbooks for practices and behavior that could potentially be improved. As a community-backed project ansible-lint supports only the last two major versions of Ansible. -

Bootlint
HTML linter for Bootstrap projects
Bootlint is a tool that checks for several common HTML mistakes in webpages that are using Bootstrap in a fairly "vanilla" way. Vanilla Bootstrap's components/widgets require their parts of the DOM to conform to certain structures. Bootlint checks that instances of Bootstrap components have correctly structured HTML. Optimal usage of Bootstrap also requires that your pages include certain <meta> tags, an HTML5 doctype declaration, etc.; Bootlint checks that these are present. Bootlint assumes that you are using Bootstrap's default class names in your webpage, as opposed to taking advantage of the "mixins" functionality of Less or Sass to map them to custom class names. If you are using mixins, Bootlint may report some false-positive warnings. However, there are some Bootlint checks that are applicable even if you are using mixins pervasively. -

CSSLint
Automated linting of cascading stylesheets
CSSLint is an open-source CSS code quality tool originally written by Nicholas C. Zakas and Nicole Sullivan. A lint tool performs static analysis of source code and flags patterns that might be errors or otherwise cause problems for the developer. CSSLint is a tool to help point out problems with your CSS code. It does basic syntax checking as well as applying a set of rules to the code that look for problematic patterns or signs of inefficiency. The rules are all pluggable, so you can easily write your own or omit ones you don't want. You can integrate CSSLint into your favorite IDE to make checking your CSS code quality easy. In fact, some IDEs already have CSSLint built-in. Once you're familiar with the CSSLint command-line interface, the next step is to integrate it into your build system. -

Ethlint
(Formerly Solium) Code quality & Security Linter for Solidity
Ethlint (Formerly Solium) analyzes your Solidity code for style & security issues and fixes them. Standardize Smart Contract practices across your organization. Integrate with your build system. Deploy with confidence! Solium does not strictly follow Solidity Style Guide. The practices it enforces by default are best practices for the community at large. If you’re using vim with syntastic, and prefer to use a locally installed version of Solium (rather than a global version), you can install syntastic local solium to automatically load the local version in packages that have installed their own. Solium does not strictly adhere to Solidity Style Guide. It aims to promote coding practices agreed upon by the community at large. You can specify rules or plugins to apply as command line options. If you specify one, it overrides its corresponding configuration in the soliumrc file. -

Gulp Boilerplate
A boilerplate for building web projects with Gulp.js
A boilerplate for building web projects with Gulp.js. This project is no longer maintained, and is offered as-is. It is strongly recommended that you instead use my Build Tool Boilerplate. Concatenate, minify, and lint JavaScript. Compile, minify, autoprefix, and lint Sass. Optimize SVGs. Copy static files and folders into your dist directory. Automatically add headers and project details to JS and CSS files. Create polyfilled and non-polyfilled versions of JS files. Watch for file changes, and automatically recompile build and reload webpages. Gulp Boilerplate makes it easy to turn features on and off, so you can reuse it for all of your projects without having to delete or modify tasks. -

Haskell Dockerfile Linter
Dockerfile linter, validate inline bash, written in Haskell
A smarter Dockerfile linter that helps you build best practice Docker images. The linter parses the Dockerfile into an AST and performs rules on top of the AST. It stands on the shoulders of ShellCheck to lint the Bash code inside RUN instructions. You can run hadolint locally to lint your Dockerfile. You can download prebuilt binaries for OSX, Windows and Linux from the latest release page. However, if this does not work for you, please fall back to container (Docker), brew or source installation. Configuration files can be used globally or per project. -

JavaScript Standard Style
JavaScript style guide, linter, and formatter
JavaScript Standard Style is a JavaScript style guide with linter and automatic formatter. It’s the simple, easy, fuss-free way to get a consistent style in your project. No more hundred-line style configuration files for every module/project; no more messy or inconsistent code; and no more wasting time sending code back and forth between reviewer and contributor. With Standard, your code is automatically formatted, no configuration necessary. With Standard, code clarity and community conventions is paramount. This may not make sense to all projects or development cultures, but does make a lot of sense for open source projects where setting up clear, automated contributor expectations makes a project healthier. -

Joker
Small Clojure interpreter, linter and formatter
Joker is a small interpreted dialect of Clojure written in Go. It is also a Clojure(Script) linter. Send HTTP requests, read and parse JSON, work with file system, start external processes etc. Checks for syntax errors, function arity mismatches, unresolvable symbols, unused namespaces, vars, bindings and much more. Joker uses .joke filename extension. Normally exits after executing the script, unless --exit-to-repl is specified before --file <filename> in which case drops into the REPL after the script is (successfully) executed. (Note use of --file, in this case, to ensure <filename> is not treated as a <socket> specification for the reply.) Our goal is to be suitable for scripting (lightweight, fast startup). This is something that Clojure is not good at and my personal itch I am trying to scratch. Also, to provide some tooling for Clojure and its dialects. Joker has linter mode which can be used for linting Joker, Clojure and ClojureScript code. -
