What is the src/.scss-lint.yml file for?

What is the src/.scss-lint.yml file for? Does its content affect the way stylelint works? If yes, then how does its content relate to the rules defined in src/.stylelintrc.json?

I'm trying to understand stylelint-config-sass-guidelines rules, and I wonder if there are any other rules in addition to rules defined in src/.stylelintrc.json.

By running the npx stylelint . --print-config command I have checked that the following configs are identical:

a)

{
  "plugins": ["stylelint-scss", "stylelint-order"],
  "extends": ["stylelint-config-sass-guidelines"],
}

b)

{
  "plugins": ["stylelint-scss", "stylelint-order"],
  "rules": {
    << all rules from src/.stylelintrc.json >>
  }
}

So I believe that src/.scss-lint.yml file doesn't affect the way stylelint works.

You are correct, src/.scss-lint.yml is not used in relation to stylelint. That file contains the scss-lint rules used in Sass Guidelines and I've used to compare to rules used in stylelint:
https://github.com/bjankord/stylelint-config-sass-guidelines/wiki/Lint-Rule-Comparison
https://github.com/bjankord/stylelint-config-sass-guidelines/wiki/Lint-Report-Comparison
In regards to learning more about the guidelines, you can check out these comparisons ^

I may move that file out of the src directory so it is less confusing.
