gosec
Golang security checker
A project devoted to secure programming in the Go language. Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"). You may not use this file except in compliance with the License. You can integrate third-party code analysis tools with GitHub code scanning by uploading data as SARIF files. The workflow shows an example of running the gosec as a step in a GitHub action workflow that outputs the results.sarif file. The workflow then uploads the results.sarif file to GitHub using the upload-serif action. Gosec can be configured to only run a subset of rules, to exclude certain file paths, and produce reports in different formats. By default, all rules will be run against the supplied input files. -

Ruff
An extremely fast Python linter, written in Rust
An extremely fast Python linter, written in Rust. Ruff aims to be orders of magnitude faster than alternative tools while integrating more functionality behind a single, common interface. Ruff can be used to replace Flake8 (plus dozens of plugins), isort, pydocstyle, yesqa, eradicate, pyupgrade, and autoflake, all while executing tens or hundreds of times faster than any individual tool. Ruff is extremely actively developed and used in major open-source projects. Ruff can be configured through a pyproject.toml, ruff.toml, or .ruff.toml file (see: Configuration, or Settings for a complete list of all configuration options). Ruff supports over 500 lint rules, many of which are inspired by popular tools like Flake8, isort, pyupgrade, and others. Regardless of the rule's origin, Ruff re-implements every rule in Rust as a first-party feature. -

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. -

ngrev
Tool for reverse engineering of Angular applications
Graphical tool for reverse engineering of Angular projects. It allows you to navigate in the structure of your application and observe the relationship between the different modules, providers, and directives. The tool performs static code analysis which means that you don't have to run your application in order to use it. ngrev is not maintained by the Angular team. It's a side project developed by the open-source community. The application is not signed, so you may have to explicitly allow your mac to run it in System Preferences. You can add your own theme by creating a [theme-name].theme.json file in Electron [userData]/themes. For a sample theme see Dark. Your application needs to be compatible with Angular Ivy compiler. ngrev is not tested with versions older than v11. To stay up to date check the update guide on angular.io. -

Error Prone
Catch common Java mistakes as compile-time errors
Error Prone is a static analysis tool for Java that catches common programming mistakes at compile-time. It’s common for even the best programmers to make simple mistakes. And sometimes a refactoring that seems safe can leave behind code that will never do what’s intended. We’re used to getting help from the compiler, but it doesn’t do much beyond static type checking. Using Error Prone to augment the compiler’s type analysis, you can catch more mistakes before they cost you time, or end up as bugs in production. We use Error Prone in Google’s Java build system to eliminate classes of serious bugs from entering our code, and we’ve open-sourced it, so you can too.
