Suppress congrats message

[dahankzter]

It would be nice to be able to suppress the congrats message: Congrats! No issues were found

Perhaps a flag: --no-congrats or something?

Hi,
What’s the use-case? How it can help you?

[dahankzter]

The use case is simply to reduce noise. Our integration servers runs a lot of stuff and having to scroll through "positives" to find any errors just adds some overhead. Not much but it adds up from all the tools we use.

[dahankzter]

I can implement it if you think it would be a good addition.

@jirfag this breaks Unix Rule of Silence [1], which states that programs should, by default, say nothing.

ps.

Probably the same is true for json

$ golangci-lint run --out-format json ./...
{"Issues":[]} 

does not seem very helpful.

@dahankzter it will be great if you will implement it.
@mmatczuk ok, thank you, I agree, except json: no json is not valid json, but {} is valid.
