I just tried this out and apparently the path you specify for
ANSIBLE_CONFIG has to actually exist:
sorry, I was not clear enough obviously. The real-life .cfg file I am
pointing at *does exist* naturally.
Maybe my understanding is mislead ...
* I assume the file name (everything preceding the .cfg ending) can be
chosen freely and does not require the string 'ansible' being part
of it, right? Still, same as you even if I can validate the
existence of the ANSIBLE_CONFIG variable it does not show via
ansible --version neither.
* Maybe I get the understanding of hierarchy not quite right? I was
thinking that once set the ANSIBLE_CONFIG environment variable would
overrule all other (fallback) configuration files. That would make
much sense to me but maybe the variable is the least mighty one and
not the boss in the ring as I thought?
all best

hi everybody,
Ansible novice here from Germany
I learned that setting an environment variable for ANSIBLE_CONFIG (like
ANSIBLE_CONFIG=/path/to/any.cfg) would make the defined file the preferred
configuration file.
However I am still not able to get this working and I am using a fallback
configuration file (~/ansible.cfg) for ad-hoc commands as well as per playbook
execution.
can anybody clarify what I did misunderstand in this logic?
