Read configuration from remote URL

[kdeldycke]

Description

I'd love to have bump-my-version read configuration file from an URL.

I.e. I'd like to be able to do that:

$ bump-my-version --config-file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kdeldycke/workflows/main/pyproject.toml bump minor

This would help me tremendously to build up generic bump-my-version reusable workflows with GitHub actions.

This feature is similar to pip, or the upcoming uv:

• pip install --requirement https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kdeldycke/workflows/main/requirements.txt
• uv pip install cannot fetch requirement file from remote URL astral-sh/uv#1481

What I Did

For reference and inspiration, I implemented this feature in my generic configuration parser for Click:

• Documentation: https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/config.html#remote-url
• Code: https://github.com/kdeldycke/click-extra/blob/102b6102a72be41b090bbc7ef274d0952fdd6e3b/click_extra/config.py#L216-L225
