does remark-lint require git?

[wesley-dean-flexion]

Hi. I'm trying to see what I'm doing wrong here..

I'm attempting to lint a one-off markdown file that's in a directory not managed by git. The tool finds warnings as one would expect, but it also issues an error asserting that the directory is not a part of a git repository after a failed git remote -v request.

So, question is, does remark-lint require that the directory being scanned belong to a git repository?

$ ls 
untitled.md

$ docker run --rm -i -v $PWD:/lint/input:ro zemanlx/remark-lint .
untitled.md
     1:1  error    Error: Command failed: git remote -v
fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /lint)

To be honest, I have no idea. I have never used it outside of git repo. JS is my least preferred language and I am using Docker, in this case, to make it a bit more bearable. However, to make it work in Docker it requires git as a dependency.

@cob16 and myself bumped into a similar issue today. We fixed it by adding repository: false under the validate-links plugin config in .remarkrc.yaml, e.g.:

plugins:
  validate-links:
    repository: false

We found this option in the remark-validate-links plugin documentation
