## How to update an existing linter

Just update its version in `go.mod`.
We use [Dependabot](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/HEAD/.github/dependabot.yml) to update dependencies, including linters.
The updates happen at least automatically once a week (Sunday 11am UTC).

No pull requests to update a linter will be accepted unless you are the author of the linter and specific changes are required.
