Config storage overhaul #2470
Description
Activity
Please use XDG on Windows (if present) as well (see https://github.com/rivy/js.xdg-portable and https://github.com/rivy/js.xdg-app-paths for plaform-portable javascript examples). The algorithm defaults to
%APPDATA%\...as appropriate when the specific XDG environment variables aren't set.Would love to work on this. Anything I should know about before starting work? Do you want all of these changes in one PR? Anything that you would no longer like included?
@Matt-Gleich Thank you! Basically everything except “Add command to print the location of the config file”/“Add command to edit the config” is up for grabs. Ideally, each item listed above would be a separate PR. This makes it easier for us to review.
Reacted by Matt GleichClosing as most of these have now been addressed and other tasks have their own issues.
%AppData%on Windows Store gh config in %APPDATA% on windows #1944os.UserHomeDirinstead ofgo-homedirUseos.UserHomeDir()instead ofhomedir.Dir()#2429 (comment)It's important to note that whenever we add new logic about config file storage, we need to ensure a migration path for users who already have configuration files in the old location.
