What is the current command-line flag to be used instead of "--skip-files"?

[tovar-rodrigo]

Hello community,
I am using the golangci-lint CLI in my GHA workflows and also locally, and when using the latest version (2.0.2), the "--skip-files" flag just stopped working.
When using previous latest version in the repo (1.63.4) it was working fine (still showing the deprecated message, but working)

Checking changelogs, docs, markdown files, looking in the commits history, I don't see something that mentions which command to run instead "--skip-files" when using the command-line.

Can you please provide some insight about what flags now can be used for that?
Checking this discussion, it does not give much info about what I am looking for (or maybe the --skip-files flag was just removed and was not replaced at all)

Hello,

--skip-files was deprecated inside the v1 (since v1.57.0 2024-03-28), so there is no v2 migration documentation for this flag.

Inside the v1, this flag has been renamed to --exclude-dirs (since v1.57.0 2024-03-28), and inside the v2, --exclude-dirs has been removed.

https://golangci-lint.run/product/migration-guide/#command-line-flags

I recommend using the configuration:

linters:
  exclusions:
    paths:
      - your/path/to/files
