+* **`--config [path]`**: This can be used to manually specify the `lint-staged` config file location. However, if the specified file cannot be found, it will error out instead of performing the usual search. You may pass a npm package name for configuration also.
 * **`--debug`**: Enabling the debug mode does the following:
   * `lint-staged` uses the [debug](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug) module internally to log information about staged files, commands being executed, location of binaries etc. Debug logs, which are automatically enabled by passing the flag, can also be enabled by setting the environment variable `$DEBUG` to `lint-staged*`.
   * Use the [`verbose` renderer](https://github.com/SamVerschueren/listr-verbose-renderer) for `listr`.
