Can I control which rules eslint --fix auto fixes?

I have multiple rules but I don't want all the fixable rules to be fixed on doing eslint --fix. Is there a way to specify them in the config file?

I had the same task to do: auto fix eslint issues by the rule. Looks like there is no way to do it, so I came up with workaround.

• Remove "extends" from .eslintrc
• Remove all rules except rule(s) to fix from .eslintrc
• Run eslint --fix
• Revert .eslintrc

For rules that e from "extends" I added them into .eslintrc by myself at step 2.

Here is a plugin for that no-autofix. This way you can blacklist some rules, e.g. rules you want to stay non-fixed.

Note that it works only with core ESLint rules, so it won't prevent auto-fix for the rules from other plugins.

Using CLI you can ignore the config file and run only the rules you list:

eslint --no-eslintrc --rule 'semi: [1, "always"]' 

See https://eslint/docs/user-guide/mand-line-interface for the rest of the params you may need
