Description
New Issue Checklist
- I've Updated SwiftLint to the latest version.
- I've searched for existing GitHub issues.
Feature or Enhancement Proposal
Please add a CLI option to disable rules, presumably named --disable-rule <rule-name>, which can be provided 0 to many times.
This is useful for ad hoc disabling of rules without needing to modify a config file, which can be a pain & can lead to accidental rule disabling being committed to the repo.
Thanks.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating SwiftLint's CLI option parsing and its tests, then trace how rule configuration is passed to linting. Done means a repeatable --disable-rule option accepts zero or more uses and disables only the requested rules without changing the config file.
