 **Linter for k6 extensions**
 
-k6lint is a command line tool and a library for static analysis of the source of k6 extensions. The analysis is done without building a k6 executable with the extension.

 The contents of the source directory are used for analysis. If the directory is a git workdir, it also analyzes the git metadata. The analysis is completely local and does not use external APIs (e.g. repository manager API) or services.
