@bdovaz please can you explain what you do ?

It's not that obvious when quickly reading the PR updated files :/

I didn't really understood the issue nor this fix..

[bdovaz]

• The pre/post commands at linter level have a new bool option called parallel with default value to true so that it is not a breaking change.
• The aforementioned option makes these commands that have the value as false to be executed before/after executing the linters in parallel.
• Inside the function that makes the linters to be called in parallel the commands with the value to true are executed.
• If at global level the value of parallel is set to false which makes the linters to be executed sequentially, they ignore the value of the parallel command of the linter and all of the commands are executed.

@bdovaz i get it, it seems nice :)

Please can you

• rename "parallel" argument into something more meaningful like runBeforeLinters that would be default to false ?
• update PRE_COMMANDS documentation (https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter?tab=readme-ov-file#pre-commands ) to explain what this new parameter does ?
• update CHANGELOG.md

[bdovaz]

@nvuillam done! Check if I haven't screwed up by refactoring the command and having to invert the bool.

Thanks!

Plz check comments :)
As it is impacting, I'd also like a double-check from @echoix :)

[bdovaz]

Ready!
