maven command line how to point to a specific settings.xml for a single command?

Is it possible to point to a specific settings file in order to override the default settings.xml being used by maven for a single command? Example:

mvn clean install -Dparam # -> pass specific settings file path as param to override default "home/.m2/settings.xml"

You can simply use:

mvn --settings YourOwnSettings.xml clean install

or

mvn -s YourOwnSettings.xml clean install

Do you mean the local cache ? Can be defined inside settings.xml or via command line -Dmaven.repo.local=$HOME/.my/other/repository
@NeerajSinghChouhan I know it's a little late, but in Eclipse, open Window > Preferences > Maven > User Settings. Specify a different User Settings (settings.xml) file there, then click Update Settings.
I ran mvn install with a non default settings.xml option via -s and the artifacts were posted to the default .m2 repository and not the repo specified in -s. I then tried specifying a non existent settings file via -s and it complained that the file didn't exist. So maven appears to be recognizing that I am specifying a non default file, but choosing not to use it or not use it fully.
You can define a global settings file via -gs,--global-settings and a user settings file via -s...In user settings file you can override things If I correctly understand your question.
The settings.xml is global not project based. So the location for settings.xml is your home directory in $HOME/.m2/ nowhere else. Apart from that it could contain credentials which should never be put in your project. The .mvn directory is intended for extensions not for settings.xml file...

I just find it very difficult, It was still not working for me. Then I checked the comments and understood that you have to override global settings. Pointed by @khmarbaise I am adding this in a new answer.

mvn -gs /local-path/settings.xml clean install

mvn --global-settings /local-path/settings.xml clean install
