The command does not appear to work correctly in my Zephyr workspace (my local config file is not printed): $ cat .west/config
[manifest]
path = zephyr
file = west.yml
group-filter = +optional
[zephyr]
base = zephyr
$ west config --list-paths
/home/pdgendt/.westconfig
$ west config --list-paths --local
$ west config manifest.path

The command prints a list of all configuration files currently considered and existing. They are listed in the order as they are loaded.

Extracted from #867
Why?
It is helpful for users to see which configuration files are currently being used by
west, and in which order they are applied.This makes it easier to debug configuration issues and understand where specific settings originate from.
Proposal
Introduce a new command-line option
--list-paths, which prints all configuration files that are currently considered and exist.The files are listed in the order they are loaded, as later files override values from earlier ones.
This option can be combined with
--local,--global, or--systemto list only the path for a specific configuration level.
