Automatic checks for code style, common mistakes, and risky patterns.
Linters catch issues before runtime. They are not a replacement for tests, but they keep the codebase consistent and prevent many avoidable mistakes.
Plainly
Think of Linting as a tool from the builder toolbox. Automatic checks for code style, common mistakes, and risky patterns.
In practice
Use it when you are installing, editing, testing, reviewing, or shipping code. In practice, define the owner, input, output, and failure mode before you rely on it.
