Is it possible to pass our own command line arguments?

I am uncertain if this is supported and I couldn't find anything in the README for it. The scenario I'm trying to account for is if ktlint bumps a version with a new command argument but this plugin hasn't updated yet. Thankfully we can specify the ktlint version ourselves, but I'm not sure I would be able to account for a new flag. The one in question, if it matters, is this PR that was just merged: pinterest/ktlint#585 (comment)

I'm happy to contribute to the solution, I'm just not sure if:

• This is not possible, so I should wait until ktlint is updated (which I have to do regardless) and then submit a PR into the plugin.
• This is supported, and we should update the README to explain how we can do this.
• This is not supported, so I should explore ways we can implement such capabilities.

Let me know what I can do to help. Thanks!

Regarding additional command line arguments - it is not possible. To add support for --color-name this plugin should be updated, though not a big change and could be done after ktlint will have next release.

If you want to try ktlint snapshot, it is possible after pinterest/ktlint#588 will be merged - just use 5.35.0-SNAPSHOT version in ktlint-gradle configuration.

Cool, thanks for the feedback! Should we close this and open a new ticket to support color-name when the time comes? That seems better than editing this so the question doesn't get lost.

Yes, would be nice.
