Describe the request

Is it possible to support setting the configuration file using an environment variable?

Currently it's possible to set the config file through multiple ways, like --config-file and by auto checking the current and parent directories. However, using an environment variable to ensure all the upcoming commands will be using the correct config file would ensure consistency and confidence in the result.

Note, as a current workaround, I'm shadowing the arduino-cli command using the following bash function, which indeed works, but it's not a clean solution.

arduino-cli() {
    if [ -n "$ARDUINO_CONFIG" ]; then
        # ARDUINO_CONFIG is set, use it with --config-file
        command arduino-cli --config-file "${ARDUINO_CONFIG}" "$@"
    else
        # ARDUINO_CONFIG is not set, call arduino-cli normally
        command arduino-cli "$@"
    fi
}

Describe the current behavior

No environment variable are mentioned in the documentation that would set the --config-file

Modify internal/integrationtest/config/config_test.go with contents:
• Add a new test function to test the `ARDUINO_CONFIG` environment variable.
• In the new test function, set the `ARDUINO_CONFIG` environment variable to a test configuration file.
• Run the `config init` command and check that the configuration file used is the one set in the `ARDUINO_CONFIG` environment variable.
• This can be done by checking the output of the `config init` command or by checking the configuration file directly.
• Make sure to clean up the environment variable after the test to avoid affecting other tests.

 ### Environment variables

+The `ARDUINO_CONFIG` environment variable sets the configuration file that Arduino CLI uses. It is checked before the `--config-file` command line flag and the automatic checking of the current and parent directories.
+
 All configuration options can be set via environment variables. The variable names start with `ARDUINO`, followed by the
 configuration key names, with each component separated by `_`. For example, the `ARDUINO_DIRECTORIES_USER` environment
 variable sets the `directories.user` configuration option.
