Feature - Add option to ignore the config file #40

Closed Rican7 closed 8 years ago

Ack has a --noenv option to allow for ignoring any configuration/settings defined in the environment or in the .ackrc file. Since sift has a similar ability to configure it's usage through a config file, it would be a nice addition to be able to ignore it temporarily.

This is very useful for testing queries with different settings or for relying on a default behavior in a script.

PS: Great tool! I love it!

Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion, this is a good idea and I will implement it.

I just released version 0.5.0 with the new option --no-conf to ignore existing config files.
