The command "web-ext lint" is used to run a linter on a web extension project.

A linter is a tool used to analyze and check the code for potential errors, coding style inconsistencies, or best practice violations. In the context of web extensions, a linter is particularly useful to ensure adherence to the specific rules and guidelines imposed by the web extension frameworks or standards.

When you execute "web-ext lint" in your terminal or command prompt within the directory of your web extension project, it will analyze the code files (such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS) within that project. The linter will check for errors, highlight potential issues, and provide suggestions for improvement based on the rules and standards set by the web extension development community.

Running "web-ext lint" helps ensure the code quality, maintainability, and compatibility of your web extension project, increasing the chances for successful deployment and a smooth experience for users.
