This PR adds an option to the
install
command to work from a local Nimble file. This makes it just a bit easier to install a package or dependencies in a CI or environment setup scripts. Doing acd pkgdir && nimble ...
can be annoying in some CI scripts. I figured an explicit option produced cleaner code and semantics than just checking if a pkgname ended with a ".nimble" extension. Though doing alocal://
orfile://
might another option.Really it's not a necessary feature and partly I was motived partly by adding a small feature to Nimble to learn about it. If it's handy, great, if not no worries! :)
