 and then you can just run `flake8` at the root to check all files or pass it an individual file to check just that.
+To see all files that are currently checked as part of Travis-CI, please look at the `.flake8` config file.

+For pylint, you can just run `pylint --recursive=y .` at the root to check all files or pass it an individual file.

 Optionally, you can pass in a specific file or directory to only lint that file or directory, e.g.:
 
 ```bash

+# from root level of Submitty repository...  to lint a specific file using flake:
