How to pass config file in lint-action?

Question

How do I pass the .golangci-lint.yml the configuration file in the following action?

Put your config named .golangci.yml according to the docs in the root of your project and the action will use that. This is because golangci-lint will look for config files in all directories from the directory of the first analyzed path up to the root.

If you want to name it something else or store it somewhere else you can use args: --config=/path/to/.golangci-lint.yml in your action.

Thanks @bombsimon , It was not mentioned in the actions readme.

It would be great if we could add this to README.md because it's not clear

[bombsimon]

It is mentioned here, is there anything that needs to be clearer?

Since this is not specific for the action but rather the binary run in the action I think this is enough. However, maybe we could mention that the action just runs the binary and all docs and configs is the same for the action with a link to these docs?

It would be great! Documentation is never too clear :)
