Installation on mega-linter Docker image

  • Dockerfile commands :
FROM golang:1-alpine as revive
## The golang image used as a builder is a temporary workaround (https://github.com/mgechev/revive/issues/787)
## for the released revive binaries not returning version numbers (devel). 
## The install command should then be what is commented in the go.megalinter-descriptor.yml
RUN GOBIN=/usr/bin go install github.com/mgechev/revive@latest

COPY --link --from=revive /usr/bin/revive /usr/bin/revive
