Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Please add support to configure the baseBranches using the CLI params?

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

Something like this: npx renovate --base-branches=main, develop ...

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

No

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how other CLI arguments are parsed in the Renovate codebase (e.g., in the cli package or using commander/yargs). Add a new ` base branches` option to the CLI that accepts a comma separated list and maps it to the `baseBranches` configuration.
