Change default location of vimrc

Question

In Vim, is it possible to change the default location of the user vimrc file, i.e., from $HOME/.vimrc to some other location ?

Answer 1

You must start vim with the command vim -u ./path/to/your/vimrcfile

vim -u NONE is a good way to start Vim without any plugin or customisation.

See :help starting.txt for more information.
