add compiler to custom scope #14516
Description
It is possible to see the compilers in a custom scope,
$ spack --config-scope configs compilers
==> Available compilers
-- gcc centos7-x86_64 -------------------------------------------
[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
-- intel centos7-x86_64 -----------------------------------------

$ mkdir newscope
$ spack --config-scope newscope compiler add
==> Found no new compilers
==> Compilers are defined in the following files:
/Users/gpjohnsn/.spack/linux/compilers.yamlRemoving the user scope compiler:
$ rm ~/.spack/linux/compilers.yaml
$ spack --config-scope newscope compiler add
==> Added 1 new compiler to /Users/gpjohnsn/.spack/linux/compilers.yaml
