Rclone config create with json from previous config

Because I'm running it on colab to connect my one drive I don't want to go through the whole process every time since I know the key-value pairs that i want by running the rclone config dump > my_config.conf so how is there some way to load this again to a new notebook everytime just by loading this file?
something like rclone config create my_config.conf

welcome to the forum,

the config file is a simple .ini text file
can copy it from one machine to another.

and can specify location using --config=/path/to/rclone.conf

Can you give me the command exactly to create a new mount gtiven a .conf file?

It's not exactly an import of the existing config file, but you should be able to pass all required key-value pairs in the command: rclone config create

can you write for me the exact command for this example .conf file?

{
    "onedrive": {
        "drive_id": "my_id",
        "drive_type": "business",
        "token": "{\"access_token\":my_auth_token}",
        "type": "onedrive"
    }
}
6 
rclone --config=test.conf config create testremote onedrive drive_id=my_id drive_type=business token=\"{"access_token":my_auth_token}\"

This will create the required remote in the test.conf file.
