I don't want a global iceberg config for my whole machine, I want a file that lives in my project directory that could be potentially checked into git

that's an interesting use case. what do you think about this search order?

• PYICEBERG_HOME
• home directory
• current directory

Or do you think the order should be reversed?

It should check the current dir first since it is the most specific

e.g. then you could use the global home dir file for most things but override that on a particular project with a project-local config file instead

Aren't you afraid of checking in credentials?

true I probably wouldn't check it in

but I'd never put it in my home folder either way, it seems like a project file

It is inspired by how AWS handles credentials in ~/.aws/credentials with the different profiles.

That said, I'm not against adding the current directory as the last fallback. Are you interested in adding this to the codebase?
