Quick start

You can use glob-linters as a command line tool in a terminal or a workflow in GitHub action. Choose the appropriate one as a quick start.

Command line

To use as a command line tool, install the latest package by pip using the following command:

$ pip install glob-linters

After successful installation, you can use glob-linters as a command tool by issuing the following to see the command line options.

$ glob_linters -h

Then run glob_linters to lint all supported languages in the current directory, which will scan all corresponding files recursively and then perform linting. If you want to lint particular files, please visit the documentation for more advanced usages.

GitHub action

To use glob-linters in GitHub action, create a workflow file such as .github/workflows/glob-linters.yml in your own repository with the example contents:

name: Code linting

on:
  push:
    branches: ["main"]
  pull_request:
    branches: ["main"]

jobs:
  glob-linters:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Linting
        uses: bowentan/glob-linters@v0
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

To use a specific version, replace v0.

You can control the workflow by creating a configuration file named as .github/glob-linters.ini and a sample configuration is given below:

[target]
dirs = .
suffixes = .py

[.py]
enabled_linters = pylint black isort

[.py:pylint]
executable = pylint
config_file = .github/linter-configs/.pylintrc

[.py:black]
executable = black
config_file = .github/linter-configs/.black

[env]
debug = True

This configuration will enable debug mode with additional information when running and set the directory that will be searched for linting .py files to be the root of your repository, using only pylint, black and isort.

For more details about usage, please refer to the documentation usage.
