I'm still interested in that...

@ericdallo if you can make a PR against the super-linter to help get this added, I would be glad to help get it across the finish line:)

[ericdallo]

Thank you @admiralAwkbar, I started a draft PR here: https://github.com/github/super-linter/pull/530 but I'm stuck not being able to install emacs on the docker image correctly:

I also found this: https://github.com/cask/cask/issues/471

Hello, I am currently working on elinter, which can be a solution to this issue.

It is still in alpha, but I've implemented its basic features. Now I'm starting to apply it to existing projects to test its functionality. If it works, I will start working on integrating it with super-linter.

One question: elinter depends on the Nix package manager. Can I install it into the Docker container, or is there any other integration that uses it?

[ericdallo]

Nice @akirak, I think you can install on the docker image like many other linters are doing that (and I think nix should be used from other linters in the future too)

Sorry, I won't work on this issue soon. I don't mind if it's closed for now so that it can be reopened later. If someone else would implement it, please go ahead.

In elinter-demo, I randomly pick a package from top 25% ones on MELPA every day and run lint on it, and no package has ever passed the checks. Maybe you'll want to discuss which checks are essential.
