Turn Off a Specific Linter in Neovim Ale

I recently needed to disable one of the built-in linters in the ALE (Asynchronous Lint Engine) Vim plugin in my Neovim configuration.

This is the line that disables the PHP linter phpstan in Neovim.

vim.g.ale_linters_ignore = { "phpstan" }

I’m using the lazy.nvim plugin manager (not to be confused with the LazyVim pre-packaged configuration), so my line to load ALE is

return {
    "dense-analysis/ale",
}

which I updated to

return {
    "dense-analysis/ale",
    config = function()
        vim.g.ale_linters_ignore = { "phpstan" }
    end,
}

Here is the Pull Request Disable phpstan in ALE.
