PR Summary

• Updated Go Version in GitHub Workflow
  The Go programming language version used in our GitHub workflow has been updated from version 1.20 to 1.23. This will ensure that we are utilizing the most up-to-date features and security updates of the Go language.

• Enhanced Pre-Commit Hook
  Our version control system now includes enhancements to its pre-commit hook. It can run tools named markdownlint and prettier on Markdown and JSON/YAML files, respectively, that are ready for commit. These tools will help enforce code styling and consistency rules.

• Improved File Handling
  Two new functions have been added to the file helpers.go. These functions are FindExistingFile which helps to locate specific files, and GetCommandOutput, an improved way to gather output from executed commands.

• Test for New File Handling Function
  To ensure the new FindExistingFile function operates correctly, a test file (helpers_test.go) has been created.

• Increased Complexity Threshold for Linting
  The complexity score limit before the gocyclo linter issues a warning has been raised from 20 to 30 in the .golangci.yaml file. This allows for slightly more complex code before a warning is flagged.

• Increased Required Go Version
  The Go version requirement has been raised to 1.22 in the go.mod file. This means that to build our code, Go version 1.22 or later is now required.

• Updated Software Release Tool Configuration
  The configuration for Goreleaser, our tool for building and releasing new software versions, has been updated. The main entry path has been set to ./main.go.

• Clean-Up and Organization of our Release Configuration
  Unnecessary lines and structures have been removed from the .goreleaser.yaml file. This will improve the clarity and readability of our configuration.

• Improved Path Usage in Checksum Updates
  The method of updating checksums in the Taskfile.dist.yaml has been modified. This change ensures proper paths are used, leading to better accuracy and dependability of our checksums.
