SpotBugs
A tool for static analysis to look for bugs in Java code
SpotBugs is a program that uses static analysis to look for bugs in Java code. It is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. SpotBugs is a fork of FindBugs (which is now an abandoned project), carrying on from the point where it left off with the support of its community. Please check the official manual for details. SpotBugs requires JRE (or JDK) 1.8.0 or later to run. However, it can analyze programs compiled for any version of Java, from 1.0 to 1.9. To build the SpotBugs plugin for Eclipse, you'll need to create the file eclipsePlugin/local.properties, containing a property eclipseRoot.dir that points to an Eclipse installation's root directory (see .travis.yml for an example), then run the build. -

Pylint
It's not just a linter that annoys you!
Pylint is a static code analyzer for Python 2 or 3. The latest version supports Python 3.7.2 and above. Pylint analyses your code without actually running it. It checks for errors, enforces a coding standard, looks for code smells, and can make suggestions about how the code could be refactored. Projects that you might want to use alongside pylint include flake8 (faster and simpler checks with very few false positives), mypy, pyright or pyre (typing checks), bandit (security-oriented checks), black and isort (auto-formatting), autoflake (automated removal of unused import or variable), pyupgrade (automated upgrade to newer python syntax) and pydocstringformatter (automated pep257). Pylint isn't smarter than you: it may warn you about things that you have conscientiously done or checks for some things that you don't care about. During adoption, especially in a legacy project where pylint was never enforced. -

PHPStan Symfony Framework extensions
Symfony extension for PHPStan
Symfony extension for PHPStan. Sometimes, when you are dealing with optional dependencies, the ::has() methods can cause problems. For example, the following construct would complain that the condition is always either on or off, depending on whether you have the dependency for service installed. You can opt in for more advanced analysis of Symfony Console Commands by providing the console application from your own application. This will allow the correct argument and option types to be inferred when accessing $input-getArgument() or $input->getOption(). -

PHP Parser
A PHP parser written in PHP
This is a PHP 5.2 to PHP 8.0 parser written in PHP. Its purpose is to simplify static code analysis and manipulation. A parser is useful for static analysis, manipulation of code and basically any other application dealing with code programmatically. A parser constructs an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of the code and thus allows dealing with it in an abstract and robust way. As the parser is based on the tokens returned by token_get_all (which is only able to lex the PHP version it runs on), additionally a wrapper for emulating tokens from newer versions is provided. This allows to parse PHP 7.4 source code running on PHP 7.0, for example. This emulation is somewhat hacky and not perfect, but it should work well on any sane code. Support for pretty printing, which is the act of converting an AST into PHP code. Please note that "pretty printing" does not imply that the output is especially pretty. -

Security Code Scan
Vulnerability Patterns Detector for C# and VB.NET
Detects various security vulnerability patterns. SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), XML eXternal Entity Injection (XXE), etc. Inter-procedural taint analysis for input data. Continuous Integration (CI) support for GitHub and GitLab pipelines. Stand-alone runner or through MSBuild for custom integrations. Analyzes .NET and .NET Core projects in the background (IntelliSense) or during a build. Works with Visual Studio 2019 or higher. Visual Studio Community, Professional and Enterprise editions are supported. Other editors that support Roslyn-based analyzers like Rider or OmniSharp should work too. Security Code Scan (SCS) is not a Linter. It is a real static analysis tool that does extensive computations. Thus installing it as a Visual Studio extension or NuGet package will slow down your Visual Studio IDE. -

Zine
Fast, Scalable, Flexible Static Site Generator (SSG)
A Zine site is a collection of content files and layouts. Zine turns your content into HTML, styles it using your layouts, and finally copies the result (alongside other assets like images) into an output directory that you can then publish on static hosting services like GitHub Pages. Zine uses a structured approach to content authoring that helps keep sizeable content collections manageable. Similarly, the build process uses surgical dependency tracking to ensure minimal rebuilds, keeping the authoring experience excellent at all scales. SuperMD is an extension of Markdown that allows you to define embedded assets and semantic constructs that would be impossible to express in Markdown without using inline HTML. SuperHTML is an extension of HTML5 that focuses on expressing correct templating logic. With SuperHTML it's impossible to generate malformed HTML and most mistakes become build-time errors. -

reviewdog
Automated code review tool integrated with any code analysis tools
I’d like to introduce reviewdog! An automated code review tool working with any lint tools and supports local run as well. “reviewdog” provides a way to post review comments to code hosting services, such as GitHub, automatically by integrating with any linter tools with ease. It uses any output of lint tools, with translation if required, and posts them as a comment if the file and line are in diff of patches to review. reviewdog also supports running in a local environment to filter the output of lint tools by diff. We can use various linters and static code analysis tools to detect such problems in local machines, editors, CI services. However, here is the problem. Static analysis tools may report false-positive results. Reporting false-positive results itself is ok, but due to the false-positive results we cannot make build fail and it becomes difficult for us to find true positive results from messed up analysis results. -
