Allow Global Path for Config File or Replace Text in CLI

[ahmadawais]

@cookpete I wish if we could define a global .auto-changelog something like CLI would take global config path for projects where I don't have to install auto-changelog as a dep but a global install would work.

Right now I am doing this:

auto-changelog --package --unreleased --output 'CHANGELOG.md' --commit-limit 'false' --template '/Users/ahmadawais/Dropbox/bin/changelog.hbs'

But I can't seem to be able to add the following settings in the CLI

{
	"replaceText": {
		"(NEW|IMPROVE|FIX|DOC|RELEASE|TEST): ": ""
	}
}

I wish I could set a global config file to use with all the settings.

Or you can allow --replace-text option for CLI that would also solve my problem here.

There is already support for .auto-changelog as per 89c8b44. What specifically is not working?

replaceText is not a CLI option due to the complexity of the configuration.

@cookpete can you allow something where a global .auto-changelog file could be used instead of a local repo file? An option do define the path of .auto-changelog file via CLI is all I need.

Ah I get you now. Yeah this is a good idea. I've added --config or -c to auto-changelog@1.15.0

Woohoo! 🥳🥳🥳Thank you! 👌

I can confirm it's working :)

@ahmadawais How you can resolve this? I have a config in .auto-changelog and i tried to put the replaceText in package.json. It's not working with both.
