flake8: Lint a file or directory recursively and ignore a list of rules. (All available rules can be found at flake8rules.com).
$ 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 ${rule1,rule2}
: This option is used to ignore specific rules defined byrule1
andrule2
. These rules can be any valid flake8 rules or error codes. By passing this option with specific rules, you instruct flake8 to skip checking those rules.${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.
