✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, so this is source-highlight-settings — it's the little utility that writes a configuration file for GNU Source-highlight (and its library too 🫶). that's the whole job. it's a vibe-setter, not a drama queen.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

source-highlight-settings

no flags, no args, no nonsense. just run the girl and let her cook 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, ever since version 3.0, GNU Source-highlight ships with this extra utility, source-highlight-settings. and what does she do, you ask? she checks whether source-highlight is actually gonna be able to find its language definition files and its other configuration files — and if it can't, she fixes that situation by storing the correct settings in a configuration file, right there in your user home directory. main character energy, honestly 🎀

and the file she writes? it's called source-highlight.conf and it lives in $HOME/.source-highlight/. iconic location, no cap.

ngl, at the moment this file only stores the default value for the --data-dir option. that's it. that's the whole file. she's doing her best 😭
