pylint:tldr:46105
pylint: Show lint errors in a file.
$ pylint ${filename-py}
try on your machine
The command pylint ${filename.py} is used to run the Pylint static code analyzer on a specific Python file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- pylint: Refers to the Pylint program itself, which is a widely used tool for analyzing and checking Python code for potential errors, style violations, and other issues.
- ${filename.py}: This is a placeholder that represents the name of the Python file you want to analyze. You need to replace it with the actual name of the file you want to check, including the .py extension.
So, for example, if you have a Python file named "my_script.py" that you want to analyze with Pylint, you would run the command as:
pylint my_script.py
This will execute Pylint on the specified Python file and generate a detailed report highlighting any issues found in the code.
