Usage: actionlint [FLAGS] [FILES...] [-]
actionlint is a linter for GitHub Actions workflow files.
To check all YAML files in current repository, just run actionlint without
arguments. It automatically finds the nearest '.github/workflows' directory:
$ actionlint
To check specific files, pass the file paths as arguments:
$ actionlint file1.yaml file2.yaml
To check content which is not saved in file yet (e.g. output from some
command), pass - argument. It reads stdin and checks it as workflow file:
$ actionlint -
To serialize errors into JSON, use -format option. It allows to format error
messages flexibly with Go template syntax.
$ actionlint -format '{{json .}}'
