Configurable Lock File Location

[Xdynix]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to keep my project root as clean as possible. So I put all controllable configuration files like pre-commit-config.yaml, .pylintrc, .coveragerc etc into a separate folder. I want to do the same with pdm.lock.

Describe the solution you'd like

The location of pdm.lock can be changed by setting in pyproject.toml, or by command line arguments. Something like:

# pyproject.toml
[tool.pdm]
# ...
lock_file = "config/pdm.lock"

or

pdm install --lock-file "config/pdm.lock"

That might be a good idea worth doing, but it involves many commands:

• install
• sync
• lock
• add
• update
• remove

Does this configuration work when set in pyproject.toml ? To me, it looks like it's ignored.

Currently it can only be specified by CLI argument -L/--lockfile or env var PDM_LOCKFILE. Ref
