@fdanielsen Thanks for submitting a pull request!

I'm confused and need some help to determine what we are trying to accomplish here. This pull request currently adds a dependency but then I don't see any code that actually uses that dependency. Can you help me understand the goal of this pull request?

Sorry for the confusion. I don't think there is any direct code in super-linter to update. But our ESLint config, and I would think quite a few others', depend implicitly on this preset. We use the @babel/eslint-parser for ESLint, and the ESLint React plugin amongst others, and end up depending on this preset too. Since we can't install node modules ourselves I hoped this could be included in super-linter together with the other ESLint and Babel plugins/packages you include.

That makes more sense. Can you resolve the branch conflicts and we can get this one merged through?

[fdanielsen]

Great, I've merged in latest from the main branch now and fixed conflicts.

🎉 Thanks for the contribution!!

Thanks for the prompt review! Any idea when you'll make a new release so I can test this out in a GitHub action?

I try to keep an every Friday release schedule but am also terrible at doing it consistently. So, i've just published a new release so you can give it a try anytime.
