Manage Linters

Last updated 9 months ago

Using the CLI

List all of the available linters

trunk check list

Enable a single linter

trunk check enable <linter name>

Disable a single linter

trunk check disable <linter name>

Using Trunk Config Files

Trunk only runs linters listed in the enabled section; linters which are defined in lint.definitions but are not listed in enabled are not run.

When enabling a linter, you must specify a version for the linter:

lint:
  enabled:
    # enabling a version with a linter
    - gitleaks@7.6.1
    - gofmt@1.16.7
    - golangci-lint@1.41.1
    - hadolint@2.6.0

Custom linters are slightly different; see to learn more.

Disable Linters

Trunk will continuously monitor your repository and make recommendations of additional new tools to run on your codebase. You can tell Trunk not to recommend a specific linter by adding it to the disabled list.

lint:
  disabled:
    # disabled a linter tells trunk not to recommend it during upgrade scans
    - rufo
    - tflint

Upgrading Linters

Run trunk upgrade to update the Trunk CLI and all your plugins, linters, tools, and runtimes.
