When I try to lint my files that contain lines like this:

import "google/api/annotations.proto";

When trying to run the linter, I get this error:

2024/03/18 11:30:05 test/test.proto:5:8: open google/api/annotations.proto: no such file or directory

How are people solving for this? Do I have to store all of the googleapis I use locally? Any recommendations for how to manage this dependency?

Simply, yes, less simply, download only those protos from googleapis that you make use of. This is what protobuf dictates for imports: https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/proto3/#importing

Then in use the linter include flag (-I, --proto-path, mirror's protoc's own flags for the same purpose) to include it in the execution.
