A no-brainer and effective way to increase code quality in an organization is by the means of incorporating linters into your CI/CD pipeline.

But where can you find them?

Some sources of inspiration include curated “super-mega-hyper” linter packages, such as:

I am not generally a fan of employing these collections directly because it’s not possible to exert tight control over them, and there’s no security or reproducibility guarantee of their pipeline.

Instead, I cherry-pick interesting / useful linters from their packs, effectively using them as serendipity sources for linters.

Bonus points whenever there’s out-of-the-box integration with the pre-commit.com framework i.e. whenever there’s a .pre-commit-config.yaml file present at the root of the git repo.
