How to tell Vim not to use ~/.vim

By default Vim is looking for plugins and other stuff in ~/.vim.

Is there any way to tell Vim to search for plugins, etc. in ~/.other_folder and force it to ignore ~/.vim entirely?

Vim uses the comma-separated paths from 'runtimepath' to determine where to look for :runtime'd files.

You can change that option either in ~/.vimrc (which is sourced as the very first script), or by passing the set rtp=... commands on Vim's command-line via --cmd (the commands passed with -c are only applied after startup).
