I like the markdownlint extension for Visual Studio Code, but the default settings do not work well for changelog files.

How can I configure markdownlint differently for the CHANGELOG.md file, but use the normal settings for all other markdown files?

In particular, I wish to disable the following for CHANGELOG.md files:

  • MD024/no-duplicate-heading

And, stylistically, I'd like to also disable

  • MD032/blanks-around-lists
  • MD022/blanks-around-headings

I added this line to the tail of my CHANGELOG.md file, and that worked:

<!-- markdownlint-configure-file { "MD022": false, "MD024": false, "MD030": false, "MD032": false} -->

I do not see an option to configure markdown lint rules based on file extensions or file names. However, you can add <!-- markdownlint-disable MD024 --> to the top of the CHANGELOG.md file to disable this rule for that particular file.
