Flake8 is a linter for Python. You can enable the Flake8 linter with: 
trunk check enable flake8
flake8 example output

​
Auto Enabling

Flake8 will be auto-enabled if a .flake8 config file is present.

​
Settings

Flake8 supports the following config files:
  • .flake8
You can move these files to .trunk/configs and trunk check will still find them. See Moving Linters for more info. Trunk Code Quality provides a default .flake8 if your project does not already have one.

​
Usage Notes

Flake8 has a plugin architecture where if you install a plugin, it gets used. You can enable Flake8 plugins via:
