It's kind of odd that GitHub is asking people to pull an image from a Docker account that most people won't recognize (admiralawkbar/super-linter), as opposed to an official GitHub one.

Which is funny too because GitHub repos have Docker repository functionality: https://github.com/features/packages

But since its release, you still can't do public pulls: https://github.community/t/docker-pull-from-public-github-pa...

What was Admiral Ackbar's famous quote?

“ask yourself if that answer doesn't make you look just a bit like a dewback's cloaca”

GitHub's Super Linter has an unusual history. See below for example:

admiralawkbar accounts for 80% of the commits in the repository and over 98% of the code churn. I'm guessing this was a side project of his (Lucas Gravley aka admiralawkbar) and the docker image was just something that was overlooked when it became an officially advertised GitHub repo.

Yup, thats exactly what happened.
