Updated .gitignore file to exclude megalinter-reports from commits
create .mega-linter.yml
create .cspell.json
create .jscpd.json
create .gitignore
No change to package.json was detected. No package manager install will be executed.
You're all set !
Now commit, push and create a pull request to see MegaLinter catching errors !Now, open the .mega-linter.yml file and uncomment the last line:
DISABLE_ERRORS: trueThis setting will ensure that our process will work properly
Just commit these files, and push them, and merge in your default branch.
Azure Devops Settings
To have something cooler, we can configure tweak our Azure Devops configuration to create PR, run Mega-Linter and then push the change back to our repo. You just have to accept the PR if the change are good for you !

Using az cli, create the pipeline:
az pipelines create --name 'MegaLinter Runner' \
--description 'Auto create PR from Pipeline to run Megalinter on' \
--yml-path ./pipelines/megalinter/runner.yamlSet Azure Devops Build Service
Now, we need to allow Pipelines to create branch, contribute to PR.
Go in “Project Settings”, “Repositories”, “Security”, like below:
Create Branch policy
To create the branch policy, go in “Repos” > “Branches”:
Then click on the ”…” and select “Branch Policies”
Fill the form with the values, and save
Test
Now, everything should work, just trigger the “Megalinter Scheduler” and voila
