Install pylint: If you don't have pylint on your system, first you need to install pylint using pip. You can run the following command:

pip install pylint

Generate a default configuration file: Once you have installed pylint, you can generate a default configuration file by running the following command:

pylint --generate-rcfile > pylintrc

Customize the configuration file: The default configuration file generated in the previous step contains a list of all available options along with their default values. You can customize this file to fit your needs.

Add configuration options: You can add configuration options to the file by specifying the option name and its value. For example, if you want to set the maximum length of a line to 100 characters, you can add the following line to the file:

max-line-length=100

Save the file: Once you have made all the necessary changes, save the file.

Use the configuration file: To use the pylintrc file, you need to pass the file path as an argument to pylint. For example, if your configuration file is named "pylintrc" and is located in the same directory as the code you want to analyze, you can run the following command:

pylint --rcfile=pylintrc your_code.py
