flake8: Lint a file or directory recursively and ignore a list of rules. (All available rules can be found at flake8rules.com).

flake8

$ flake8 --ignore ${rule1,rule2} ${filename_or_directory}

try on your machine

This command is used to run the flake8 tool with specified rules to check for coding style and potential errors in a Python project.

Explanation of the command:

flake8: This is the command to execute the flake8 tool.
--ignore ${rule1,rule2}: This option is used to ignore specific rules defined by rule1 and rule2. These rules can be any valid flake8 rules or error codes. By passing this option with specific rules, you instruct flake8 to skip checking those rules.
${filename_or_directory}: This is the path to the Python file or directory that you want to analyze. It can be a single file or a directory containing multiple files. Flak8 will analyze all Python files it finds within the specified directory.

For example, if you wanted to run flake8 on a file named example.py but ignore rules E302 and E501, you would use the following command:

flake8 --ignore E302,E501 example.py

This would execute flake8 on example.py, but it wouldn't report any errors or warnings related to rules E302 and E501.
