Pass an exclude to a linter package?

[Frank Febbraro]

The gosec package is flagging an error that I don't care to evaluate across my entire codebase.

gosec has a way to pass an exclude for a particular rule

# Run everything except for rule G303
$ gosec -exclude=G303 ./...

Is there a way to pass something like that down to the gosec package?

Yes, you can customize the command that is run from the config:

{
  "Linters": {
    "gosec": {"Command": "gosec -exclude=G303"}
  }
}

@dnephin Thanks so much for that pointer. Works like a charm!
