An option to download only the updated config file, without font or style files? #17

I use another tool to fetch Fontello icons in the form of separate SVG file. This tool only requires a Fontello config file and does the rest independently. So among all files bundled with a fontello zipball, only the config file is stored in my project, everything else is never used and thus not stored in the project.

I need fontello-cli to automate the process of updating my Fontello config file with new icons from fontello.com GUI.

fontello-cli helps me open fontello.com with all my icons pre-selected, it's awesome.

Now i need to update the config file with newly selected icons. The problem is that fontello-cli forces me to save font and style files somewhere in the project. But i don't need that! I only need to update the config.

I tried to supply /dev/null as a location for font and style files, but unfortunately fontello-cli is clever enough to prevent this trick. :(

At present, fontello-cli isn't for downloading config files. It's for downloading assets based on an existing config file.
