You can see a verbose output of linter by using `-v` option.

If you would like to see more detailed logs you can set environment variable `GL_DEBUG` to debug `golangci-lint`.
It's value is a list of debug tags. For example, `GL_DEBUG=loader,gocritic golangci-lint run`.
Existing debug tags:

1. `gocritic` - debug `go-critic` linter;
2. `env` - debug `go env` command;
3. `loader` - debug packages loading (including `go/packages` internal debugging);
4. `autogen_exclude` - debug a filter excluding autogenerated source code;
5. `nolint` - debug a filter excluding issues by `//nolint` comments.
```bash
golangci-lint run -v
```

If you would like to see more detailed logs you can use the environment variable `GL_DEBUG`.
Its value is a list of debug tags.

The existing debug tags are documented in the following file: https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/master/pkg/logutils/logutils.go

For example:

```bash
GL_DEBUG="loader,gocritic" golangci-lint run
```

```bash
GL_DEBUG="loader,env" golangci-lint run
```
