megalinter-setup
Install or upgrade MegaLinter on a repository. Use when the user wants to add MegaLinter to a project, set up linting CI, update MegaLinter configuration or version, or says "install megalinter", "setup linting", "add code quality checks", "update megalinter skills". Always goes through npx mega-linter-runner (--install or --upgrade), then refines .mega-linter.yml. In upgrade mode it also refreshes the installed MegaLinter skills and sub-agents. Also sets up a MegaLinter custom flavor repository when the user explicitly asks for one.
