After some investigation, I finally figured out how to tackle that issue. While other similar questions provided solutions, I found them to be somewhat unclear in terms of implementation. By checking out the repository on GitHub "https://github.com/ebednarz/csslintrc/blob/master/.csslintrc", I stumbled upon some lines of code that helped me ignore certain elements. However, the instructions left me wondering, "What do I do next?".
There are two possible approaches (I am using Windows). You can either create a file named ".csslintrc" in Atom or using the command line and place it WITHIN THE PROJECT FOLDER you are currently working on. Alternatively, you can place this file in your USER FOLDER ON WINDOWS. For example, "C:\Users\yourUserName". By doing this, all your projects will utilize this particular file.
