linter.
TIPS
As Arcanist currently doesn't detect file formats or doesn't parse shebangs, you can find useful to enforce a convention scripts MUST be appended by an extension like .py .sh in your repository. This may be more convenient for other CI tasks too.
That doesn't mean you have to install them with the extension, both cp and install commands are happy to accept an arbitray filename as target, including a target without the extension.
