💅 BOOTC-CONFIG(5) — the File Formats Manual glow-up ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for the bootc-config file format, living in section 5 of the File Formats Manual. It's not a command you run, it's the vibe sheet that tells bootc how to behave. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

bootc-config — the configuration file format for bootc. that's it, that's the name, iconic.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

👑 FILE FORMAT 👑

The configuration file is in TOML format, and it's got these sections in it:

[core]

Core configuration options. the main character section 💅

• auto_updates = boolean — Enable or disable automatic updates. Default: false
• update_interval = string — Update check interval (e.g., "daily", "weekly"). Default: "weekly"

Storage-related configuration. where your stuff physically lives 🏠

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

A basic configuration file, and yes she ate:
