Load --exclude from a file

[dblock]

We like having a link checker in https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch, but we also often encounter URLs that no longer work in things like license files. Therefore we can't just fix the links. This leads to a fairly long list of URLs to exclude, which we keep adding to a GitHub action job, which reads poorly.

In opensearch-project/OpenSearch#1189 I've hacked our workflow to read the exclusions from a file, but it's not an ideal implementation :)

Should we add --exclude-file to lychee?

lychee currently support config file. so at least you can put those urls in it.

Oh where/how? I see README mentions a config file, but can't find a reference/example that shows how to specify many URLs.

Found https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee/blob/master/lychee.example.toml#L53

The config file helps, but I think a data file is still cleaner.

indeed.

Good idea!
