What I'd like to do and why

Currently, the only way to get key files is it have them within ~/.config/borg/keys as borg starts.

However, some may prefer to have their key files somewhere else and managed externally. So being able to point to a keyfile via borgmatic would be fantastic.

Other notes / implementation ideas

Thanks for filing this! This is now implemented in main and will be part of the next release. The new borgmatic configuration option is called borg_key_file.

Thank you! I was not expecting this that fast. I was actually attempting to setup a dev enviroment myself even x3

Looking forward to the release! Gonna get by with borg_keys_directory for a lil bit

You caught me at a good time. 😄

Let me know if you have any problems setting up a dev environment though.
