    Angular ESLint

    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!

    SublimeLinter-eslint

    SublimeLinter-eslint

    This linter plugin for SublimeLinter provides an interface to ESLint

    This linter plugin for SublimeLinter provides an interface to ESLint. It will be used with "JavaScript" files, but since eslint is pluggable, it can actually lint a variety of other files as well. SublimeLinter will detect some installed local plugins, and thus it should work automatically for e.g. .vue or .ts files. If it works on the command line, there is a chance it works in Sublime without further ado. Make sure the plugins are installed locally colocated to eslint itself. T.i., technically, both eslint and its plugins are described in the very same package.json. Configuration of the plugins is out-of-scope of this README. Be sure to read their README's as well. (If you just installed a plugin, without proper configuration, eslint will probably show error messages or wrong lint results, and SublimeLinter will just pass them to you.)

    Ultracite

    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.

    go-critic

    go-critic

    The most opinionated Go source code linter for code audit

    The most opinionated Go source code linter. go-critic is a collection of checks that detect style, and performance issues as well as some common programming errors. We provide as many useful checks as possible. We’re prototyping and experimenting here. When specific check implementation is mature and proven useful, propose it’s integration into other linter. If a good checker can’t find a better home, it stays here. Almost 100 diagnostics that check for bugs, performance and style issues. Extensible without re-compilation with dynamic rules. Includes #opinionated checks with very strict and specific requirements. Self-documented: gocritic doc <checkname> gives a checker description. Usage of gocritic: gocritic [sub-command] [sub-command args...] Run gocritic without arguments to get help output.

    Joker

    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.

    Ansible-lint

    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

    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

    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.

    Clj-kondo

    Clj-kondo

    A linter for Clojure code that sparks joy

    A linter for Clojure code that sparks joy. Clj-kondo performs static analysis on Clojure, ClojureScript and EDN, without the need of a running REPL. It informs you about potential errors while you are typing. To detect lint errors across namespaces in your project, a cache is needed. To let clj-kondo know where to create one, make a .clj-kondo directory in the root of your project, meaning on the same level as your project.clj, deps.edn or build.boot. A cache will be created inside of it when you run clj-kondo. Before linting inside your editor, it is recommended to lint the entire classpath to teach clj-kondo about all the libraries you are using, including Clojure and/or ClojureScript itself. Since clj-kondo now knows about your version of ClojureScript via the cache, it detects that the number of arguments you passed to select keys is invalid. Each time you edit a file, the cache is incrementally updated, so clj-kondo is informed about new functions you just wrote.

    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.
