Description
It would be good if the configuration file could be located somewhere else. In particular, it would be nice to have it located where the XDG specification states (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html), so you can have all your files under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
It should not be a difficult change and will allow us to have a cleaner home and an easier configuration backup.
The ability of setting the config file via environment variable (like OC_CONFIG=~/.opencommit), or using an environment variable to configure the software (like OPENAI_API_KEY=MyKey) would also be welcomed.
