# Linter
Woodpecker automatically lints your workflow files for errors, deprecations and bad habits. Errors and warnings are shown in the UI for any pipelines.

## Running the linter from CLI
You can run the linter also manually from the CLI:
```shell
woodpecker-cli lint <workflow files>
```
## Bad habit warnings
Woodpecker warns you if your configuration contains some bad habits.
### Event filter for all steps
All your items in `when` blocks should have an `event` filter, so no step runs on all events. This is recommended because if new events are added, your steps probably shouldn't run on those as well.
Examples of an **incorrect** config for this rule:
```yaml
when:
- branch: main
- event: tag
```
This will trigger the warning because the first item (`branch: main`) does not filter with an event.
```yaml
steps:
- name: test
when:
branch: main
- name: deploy
when:
event: tag
```
Examples of a **correct** config for this rule:
```yaml
when:
- branch: main
event: push
- event: tag
```
```yaml
steps:
- name: test
when:
event: [tag, push]
- name: deploy
when:
- event: tag
```
