It determines which files need linting (by default, files changed in HEAD and the working tree), invokes each linter via a common protocol, and collects their results into a single report. The tool is designed for large projects with mixed languages and tooling\u2014you configure linters once in a .lintrunner.toml file, and lintrunner handles parallelization, path selection, and result aggregation.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and ships as a compiled binary (Rust implementation) with wheels for macOS, Linux, Windows, and RISC-V. It expects each linter to be wrapped in an adapter that outputs JSON Lines to stdout and respects a {{PATHSFILE}} placeholder for the list of paths to check. Git integration is built in: by default it lints only changed files, but you can override this with --all-files, --revision, --merge-base-with, or by passing paths directly.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you manage a polyglot codebase and want unified linter orchestration. Lintrunner is actively maintained with no external runtime dependencies and ships as a compiled binary with broad platform support. The main gotcha is the unclear license\u2014verify it fits your project's constraints before committing. The learning curve is moderate: you must write linter adapters to implement the JSON Lines protocol, but the tool itself is straightforward to configure and use."},"id":"lintrunner","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lintrunner","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lintrunner.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/lintrunner/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"lintrunner","python_support":"supports_current","summary":null},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1510471,"position":3826,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.13.1"}
