Canonical way to pass environment variables to linters?

[dhermes]

I'd like to set the GOFUMPT_SPLIT_LONG_LINES=on environment variable when running the gofumpt linter.

Is there a canonical way to do this with e.g. .golangci.yaml? Or should I just be setting it in the environment of the caller?

@dhermes hi

IMHO, canonical solution is

1. Ask to add no-long-lines in extra rules (or in separate option).
2. Use config

linters-settings:
  gofumpt:
    extra-rules: true

3. Use golangci-lint --fix option to autofix linter issues.

Or just use https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/#lll
