Change default location of vimrc

Question

In Vim, is it possible to change the default location of the user vimrc file, i.e., from $HOME/.vimrc to some other location ?

Answer 1

I feel like the simplest solution is to just have a single line in ~/.vimrc that loads the vimrc from the other location, i.e.:

source PATH/TO/OTHER/LOCATION/.vimrc
