Bulk suppressions
This feature is experimental, and might change significantly.
Turning on a rule with the severity of error can be difficult when an established codebase already contains many problems that can't be auto-fixed. You can suppress those legacy problems so the rule is enforced only for new code, and then clear the backlog at your own pace.
--suppress [<rule>]
Suppress problems that have the severity of error and record them in a file.
If no rule is specified, all problems are suppressed. Otherwise, only problems with the given rules are suppressed, e.g., --suppress rule1 --suppress rule2.
Subsequent runs without the --suppress flag will not report these problems, unless there are more problems for the same rule in the same file.
We recommend committing the suppressions file to your repository and using the --fix option alongside the --suppress.
--suppress can't be combined with stdin input (e.g., piping code via echo "..." | stylelint).
--suppress-location <path>
Path to a suppressions file or directory. Defaults to stylelint-suppressions.json.
If you specify a directory path, Stylelint will create a file named stylelint-suppressions.json in that directory.
You must use --suppress-location on all subsequent runs, even when not using the --suppress flag.
