Can eslint use a global `.eslintrc` file?

Can eslint use a global file? when I create a new project, I have to run eslint --init in each project, how do I let eslint use a global .eslintrc file?

If eslint doesn’t find a .eslintrc anywhere in your project, it will look for one in your home directory (~/.eslintrc or C:\Users\username\.eslintrc).

I was having an issue with eslint seemingly ignoring my ~/.eslintrc and it looks like eslint searches recursively upwards the path tree until it finds .eslintrc. E.g I was running eslint from ~/src/project/ and had placed an .eslintrc file in ~/src by accident. which was overriding my config file in the home directory. I hope this helps someone.
