Guide through adding a new flavor named $ARGUMENTS.

Steps:

  1. Update the schema enum in megalinter/descriptors/schemas/megalinter-descriptor.jsonschema.json — add the new flavor name to enum_flavors
  2. Create the flavor directory flavors/$ARGUMENTS/
  3. Update descriptors: Add the flavor name to descriptor_flavors arrays in the relevant megalinter/descriptors/*.megalinter-descriptor.yml files for each language/tool this flavor should include
  4. Run make megalinter-build to auto-generate:

- flavors/$ARGUMENTS/Dockerfile - flavors/$ARGUMENTS/action.yml - flavors/$ARGUMENTS/flavor.json

  1. Verify the generated Dockerfile includes exactly the intended linters (check flavor.json for the linter list)
  2. Update CHANGELOG.md in the repository root (not docs/) — add one line under Flavors in the beta section:

``text - Add new <flavor-name> flavor for <what languages/tools it targets> ``

  1. Branch naming: use user/add-<flavor-name>-flavor
