Congrats on the massive milestone of v2 and the great work being done 🚀

I'm just getting around to picking up some of the upgrades, and notice that i.e. onoapi-codegen/oapi-codegen#1940 I see:

/home/runner/work/oapi-codegen/oapi-codegen/bin/golangci-lint run ./... --out-format=colored-line-number --timeout=5mError: unknown flag: --out-format

Looking athttps://golangci-lint.run/product/migration-guide/#command-line-flags I don't see an option for GitHub Actions - is it that this was deprecated without a replacement, or maybe that it doesn'tneed a specific output to be picked up accordingly?

Or maybe that using asarif output is the recommended alternative?

Hello,

Thank you.

Thegithub-actions format is deprecated since v1.59 (2024-05-26).
And this format is not supported by the GitHub action sincev6.0.0 (2024-05-07)

The GitHub action can parse the default golangci-lint output format (--output.text.path=stdout).
