feature request: 'nanoc compile --config'

[0x1eef]

Would it be possible for the nanoc compile command to accept a --config option that
would point at nanoc.yaml ? Tools like webpack and typescript's compiler provide a similar
feature, and it would be nice if nanoc could do the same.

I looked into it briefly and it appeared that it would require some refactoring. If a path was
given then we would use its contents to determine the "site dir" instead of how enter_site_dir
and friends currently work. It might require some effort but I'm curious if there's interest in supporting
a feature like that. Thanks

That would most likely be possible. As you said, it would indeed require some refactoring beforehand.

Can you let me know what your use case would be?

Thanks!

I have organized the configuration files of my website in the etc/ directory. The rubocop.yml, tsconfig.json, and webpack.*.js configuration files all live there. The idea would be to eventually move nanoc.yaml as well.
