Ensure linter configuration files are well-maintained by avoiding duplicate entries, using current non-deprecated options, and implementing security-conscious restrictions. Remove any duplicate configuration blocks, replace deprecated linters with their modern equivalents, and configure restrictive policies for dangerous imports that require explicit justification.
Example of good practices:
# Remove duplicates - avoid this:
- name: unhandled-error
arguments: ['bytes\.Buffer\.Write']
- name: unhandled-error # Duplicate!
disabled: true
# Use current linters - replace deprecated ones:
# - varcheck # Deprecated
- unused # Current alternative
# Configure security restrictions:
depguard:
packages:
- unsafe # Require //nolint:depguard // Justification
This ensures configuration files remain clean, current, and secure while preventing maintenance issues and security oversights.
