I am running linux. Can I do something like pylint --generate-rcfile > .pylintrc
and then make changes to the resulting .pylintrc
file to override the default settings? And if so should it be in my ~/
directory or should I put it in .pylint.d?
You may put it in:
/etc/pylintrc
for default global configuration~/.pylintrc
for default user configuration<your project>/pylintrc
for default project configuration (used when you'll run pylint <your project>
)pylint --rcfile=<wherever I want>
Also notice when generating the rc file, you may add option on the command line before the --generate-rcfile
, they will be considered in the generated file.
