Support passing .env to docker-compose

[art-in]

i have docker-compose.yml and .env for it outside current project folder.
i'm using several env vars inside docker-compose.yml, not only for container_name

so now i have to copy that .env to current project folder so it's used by docker-compose
i would like to avoid that copy and reuse same .env

Any update on this?

Could you not just put the full path of the env file or a better relative path for now? Like ../../env_files/devcontainer.env
