Linter

A linter is a tool used in software development that analyzes and checks code for potential errors, stylistic inconsistencies, or code that doesn’t follow best practices. Think of it as an automatic reviewer that scans your code to catch issues before they cause problems later, helping developers write cleaner, more reliable, and maintainable code. It can also suggest improvements to improve code quality and uniformity across a project, making collaboration easier and reducing bugs or bugs related to coding style.
