Describe the bug
To simplify the configuration of MegaLinter across multiple repos I want to have one base config in my .github repo and then have a short configuration in each other repo that adds properties or overrides the ones from the base config. For example, in one repository I want to override the FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE property:

EXTENDS: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lars-reimann/.github/main/.mega-linter.yml

# Config
FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE: (\.github/workflows/|someOtherFolder/)

However, this does not seem to work as expected: The FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE property from the extended config overrides the property defined here rather than the other way around. This means the base config can only contain properties that I know I'll never want to override.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a base config.
  2. Create another config that extends the base config and overrides one of its properties.
  3. Observe the behavior of the linter.

Expected behavior
The property in the extending file should have precedence.

Additional context
At first glance this seems to cause this behavior: https://github.com/megalinter/megalinter/blob/100a4d937a48c79e0eb5de8325d4d2b22601d861/megalinter/config.py#L82

This should indeed be the contrary: local config that overriddes default config from extended file ^^
