 # 100% of the script for downloading, installing, and running golangci-lint

+# downloaded golangci-lint tarball (golangci-lint-1.41.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz). 
 #
 # Why?
 #   1. Avoid downloading and executing unverified wrapper scripts or actions each time a workflow runs.
 #      See https://www.securityweek.com/codecov-bash-uploader-dev-tool-compromised-supply-chain-hack
 #   2. Use openssl instead of sha256sum because it's easier to change hash algo to BLAKE2s, SHA3-256, etc.
-#   3. Use SHA384 instead of SHA256 to avoid debating strangers about length extension attacks and gzip file format.
+#   3. Use SHA384 instead of SHA256 to avoid debates about length extension attacks and gzip file format.
 #   4. Use embedded SHA384 instead of downloading CHECKSUM because CHECKSUM file isn't digitally signed.
 #   5. Use binary instead of building from source because it's probably easier to detect backdoors in one binary 
 #      than all the combined source code of dozens of linters and all their required 3rd-party packages.

-# Copy this file into [github_repo]/.github/workflows/
+#   Step 1. Copy this file into [github_repo]/.github/workflows/
+#   Step 2. There's no step 2 if you like the default settings.

-# Configure [github_repo]/.golangci.yml normally as instructed in golangci-lint docs.
+# You can create and use a config file (.golangci.yml) as described in golangci-lint docs.

-# 2021-05-16  Created. Use golangci-lint 1.40.1, Go 1.15.x, and ubuntu-latest.
