Hello,

FYI golangci-lint is a wrapper around linters.

Also, I think you are looking for something like ifshort or errifinline.

ifshort has been archived.

errifinline is will maybe be transformed #4385 (comment)

awesome, thx!

[grosser]

can I use this without the PR being merged ?
... don't really want to setup a whole new flow for this 1 linter

Not unless you build golangci-lint from the branch of the PR, but then you'll miss other things instead unless you rebase manually.
