Configuration

Pylint is highly configurable. There are a lot of options to follow the needs of various projects and a lot of checks to activate if they suit your style.

You can generate a sample configuration file with --generate-toml-config or --generate-rcfile. Every option present on the command line before this will be included in the file

For example:

pylint --disable=bare-except,invalid-name --class-rgx='[A-Z][a-z]+' --generate-toml-config

In practice, it is often better to create a minimal configuration file which only contains configuration overrides. For all other options, Pylint will use its default values.
