When using the regular SwiftLint binary it can extract customisations from a .swiftlint config file, such as opt-in rules to enable, rules to disable, configurations for different rules and files to exclude. This currently doesn't seem to be possible when using the plugin as it instead intelligently works out the files to lint.
It should involve looking at how the SwiftLint CLI target extracts customisations from this config file and how it passes it to the SwiftLintFramework, that this plugin is using internally.
