gci won't parse "alias" option

[hahuang65]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've read the typecheck section of the FAQ (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/faq/#why-do-you-have-typecheck-errors).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.). (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

gci doesn't seem to accept the alias option in the config, even though golangci-lint 1.55.2 uses gci v0.12.1

Hello,

golangci-lint v1.55.2 uses gci v0.11.2. https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/v1.55.2/go.mod#L33C2-L33C26
The support of aliases is in gci v0.12.0 https://github.com/daixiang0/gci/releases/tag/v0.12.0

[hahuang65]

Oh strange. The configuration section in the linters page suggests that it should work

https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/#gci

I guess it's already updated in go.mod but simply not released?

golangci-lint/go.mod

Line 33 in a727aa5

github.com/daixiang0/gci v0.12.1

Will there be a release soon?
