Usage

Command line

Use the latest version

Without speicifying a image tag, the latest tag will be used as the latest version of markdownlint-cli:

docker run -v $PWD:/md peterdavehello/markdownlint markdownlint .

Replace $PWD with path of markdown files, $PWD means the current working directory.
If you don't want to scan all the markdown files recursively, replace . with the specify the file path and name.

Use specific version

Just like above, but specify a version tag of markdownlint-cli, for example, 0.35.0:

docker run -v $PWD:/md peterdavehello/markdownlint:0.35.0 markdownlint .

Continuous Integration (CI)

Travis CI

Enable Docker service in your .travis.yml:

services:
  - docker

And use the same command in the scripts part as the command line mentions, for example:

services:
  - docker

scripts:
  - docker run -v $TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR:/md peterdavehello/markdownlint:0.35.0 markdownlint example.md

This will lint a example markdown file called example.md

GitLab CI

Add this block to your .gitlab-ci.yml:

markdownlint:
  stage: lint
  variables:
    markdownlint_cli_version: "0.35.0"
  image: peterdavehello/markdownlint:$markdownlint_cli_version
  only:
    changes:
      - "**/*.md"
      - "**/*.markdown"
  script:
    - markdownlint .

markdownlint cli usage

Just pass -h/--help to markdownlint to get its help message, for example:

docker run peterdavehello/markdownlint markdownlint --help

You'll get the output like below:

  Usage: markdownlint [options] <files|directories|globs>
