Configuration File Customization - Support for custom file names

[koyama-yoshihito]

Hello, I am currently using tbls for my project and it has been very useful. However, I have a feature request to enhance its functionality.

In current implementation, tbls loads configuration from a default .tbls.yml file. My project could benefit from the ability to specify custom configuration files (for example, .tbls-beta.yml), allowing us to manage different settings for different environments or stages within the same repository.

Here's a sample use case:

1. I have different database configurations for database1 and database 2.
2. Each database configuration is written in a separate configuration file like .tbls-1.yml and .tbls-2.yml.
3. I want to specify the configuration file when running tbls, like tbls doc -c .tbls-1.yml.

I understand that a workaround may be to copy or link the desired configuration file to .tbls.yml before running tbls. However, it would be more straightforward and less error-prone if tbls could support the specification of a configuration file directly.

Thank you for considering this feature request. I believe this feature would add flexibility and aid in managing multiple environments.

I have a feeling that perhaps I am not understanding your request.

If this is not the answer you were looking for, please give me some more information.
