Your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Problem is copy-past'ing config everywhere, a solution is to share a config and download it, which is what I do
Yet sometimes/often you'd want to make minor tweaks to said config for a specific project, cloning the source goes back to rot and diverging config and having to update dozen of files each time there is a new golangci-lint release
Describe the solution you'd like
golangci-lint run -c base_config.yml -c deltas.yml
(obviously merging is not... that trivial and maybe additional directives are needed it's not just a yml merge, I think)
Describe alternatives you've considered
trying to do some merging myself, maybe it's easy and worth documenting how and this is just a "doc" issue
