 The settings for Kube API Linter are based on the [GolangCIConfig][golangci-config-struct] struct and allow for finer control over the linter rules.
 
 If you wish to use the Kube API Linter in conjunction with other linters, you can enable the Kube API Linter in the `.golangci.yml` file by ensuring that `kubeapilinter` is in the `linters.enabled` list.
-To provide further configuration, add the `custom.kubeapilinter` section to your `linter-settings` as per the example above.
