| Nov 17, 2018 at 22:25 | comment | added | demented hedgehog | This drives me crazy about emacs. I keep all my config in ~/env/emacs and move it around and every time I do I have this problem. There's no good (non-brittle) solution. | |

Update: it looks like this feature does not interest Emacs developers so much: the request has been tagged wontfix and closed in the bug tracker.

I read over Appendix C Command Line Arguments for Emacs Invocation but I did not find a simple command-line option to start Emacs with a custom .emacs.d directory unless you change HOME, which seems problematic to me. People have provided workarounds below, but, to me, this sounds like a very reasonable feature request for Emacs itself.

Remove example command and keep the command I actually thought would work.
