Offline config validation

[tmzane]

Your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

While working offline, I noticed that golangci-lint config verify attempts to download the json schema from the internet. I'm not really familiar with the workflow around it, so maybe I don't see something. But can't it be embedded into the golangci-lint binary instead, since the schema is located in the same repository? AFAIK, no other commands require internet connection, so it would be nice to be able to use all golangci-lint features offline.

Describe the solution you'd like

Being able to validate a .golangci.yml config offline. Could be implemented by embedding the json schema via //go:embed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Don't bother about it 😅

Hello,

I already answered this inside the PR about this new command: #4527

Why we don't embed the JSON Schema?

The usage of remote JSON schema allows us to fix the schema without releasing golangci-lint.

I think IDEs or text editors, that use JSON schema, will be always better than a command line to quickly identify syntax errors.
It is not worth to increase the binary size only for a niche.
