 This folder contains lint scripts.
 
+Running locally
+===============
+
+To run linters locally with the same versions as the CI environment, use the included
+Dockerfile:
+
+```sh
+cd ./ci/lint
+docker build -t bitcoin-linter .
+
+cd /root/of/bitcoin/repo
+docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/bitcoin -it bitcoin-linter
+```
+
+After building the container once, you can simply run the last command any time you
+want to lint.
+
+

 Check for missing documentation of command line options.
