Environment variables support

[ilbertt]

I'd like to specify source and target connection parameters using an .env file or directly from shell, in order to integrate it in a CI/CD process I'm setting up. Is it supported?

Hello Luca,
A "usual" env vars aren't supported now, yet I think your request still can be fulfilled.
Mind following quotes from README.md:
As an option, you can move the entire config folder out of Nmig's directory and place it in any location
and
As an option, you can store the Nmig's logs in any location. All you need to do is to create the nmig_logs directory
then you can start Nmig via
$ npm start -- --conf-dir='/path/to/nmig_config' --logs-dir='/path/to/nmig_logs'

That's what I'm doing, using the inject-env package. I think it should be integrated in this repository, because it's common to have database connections as env variables and not hardcoded in the json.

So, as far as I understand, you aren't blocked for now, correct?

I can take it as a feature-request, yet I cannot promise a quick solution, since I'm a bit overwhelmed these days.

Seems nice! Thanks @AnatolyFromPerion
