bash function I use in place of docker-compose that finds the nearest sibling/child docker-compose.yml

smart_docker-compose.sh

function dc() {
        closest=$(find . -maxdepth 4 -type f -name docker-compose.yml -printf '%P\n' | tail -n1)
        if [ $# -eq 0 ] || [ -z "$closest" ]; then
                docker-compose "$@"
        else
                docker-compose -f "$closest" "$@"
        fi
}
