Support config location "~/.config/pueue/pueue.yml" also for macOS

[meseck]

A detailed description of the feature you would like to see added.

Also on macOS, the "~/.config" folder is essentially the "home folder" for config files for most CLI tools available today.

Explain your usecase of the requested feature

The "~/.config" folder is a very convenient place to manage and then back up your personal dotfiles.

Alternatives

I could symlink "~/Library/Application Support/pueue/pueue.yml" directory to "~/.config/pueue/pueue.yml".
But then I lose the portability of this config file to other Unix systems. :/

Additional context

Sadly, the .config location is not a standard in the MacOS environment, hence I would like to not support it.

However, you can easily achieve this by just using an alias and setting the configuration directory manually.

alias pueue='pueue -c ~/.config/pueue/pueue.yml'

Maybe add an environment variable PUEUE_CONFIG ?

[Nukesor]

That sounds reasonable to me :)

Could you check out the linked MR? I went ahead and implemented the feature as requested.

I really appreciate this solution. Thank you for your effort!

Just like how ripgrep handles this:
https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/GUIDE.md#configuration-file

Just one small thing: to be super explicit that the environment variable expects a path (and not already config properties), what do you think of naming it PUEUE_CONFIG_PATH? This is also how ripgrep does it. :)

[Nukesor]

I like that proposal. PUEUE_CONFIG has been renamed to PUEUE_CONFIG_PATH :)

Didn't make it into the readme/wiki 🫣

Feel free to update the wiki :). Everybody can edit it!
