Allow files to be skipped via some repo-level configuration file

[swinton]

Having the ability to skip files via some kind of .linter-alex.yml would be handy.

E.g.

---
skip:
- CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

Just dropping by to leave my 👍 for this.

All the probot repo's use the same CoC which triggers it. I would even consider suggesting ignoring CoC in the run entirely, considering the templates for all the major ones will trigger these checks.

I second this, as we hit the same issue in Git for Windows: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/1756/checks?check_run_id=7019837

Quick status update:

I want to get some good test coverage in place (#7) before working on enhancements. Once I have good coverage, this will be top of my list to tackle next.

I just want to register my support for this request. Currently, my code-of-conduct.md file triggers linter-alex because it makes references to sexual harassment, etc. That's good, since that means it's working, but that's the one place I want to mention things like that.
