topydo.conf(5)

💖 topydo.conf — the manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the topydo.conf(5) page, and it's literally just about where topydo goes looking for its config files. short page, big slay. let's get into it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

topydo.conf — configuration files for topydo. that's it, that's the vibe. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so when you run the topydo command, it's gonna try to read config info from a whole little list of places. think of it like topydo checking every room in the house for a snack. 🍓

it looks in these spots, in this exact order:

• /etc/topydo.conf
• ~/.config/topydo/config
• ~/.topydo
• .topydo (in the current working directory)
• topydo.conf (in the current working directoy)
• topydo.ini (in the current working directoy)

not me noticing they wrote "directoy" twice in the original — i'm keeping it exactly as-is because facts are facts and typos are sacred. 💀

the files get read in that order, and here's the tea: if a later file sets the same variable as an earlier one, the later one wins. it overrides it. no cap. so your local config can absolutely clown on the system one. 👑

now, the actual sections and variables you can put in these files? those are documented in /etc/topydo.conf and /usr/share/doc/topydo/Documentation.html. go read those, they're the main character. 📖✨

and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs. 💅✨ this lil' topydo.conf(5) moment was brought to you by November 2020 — yeah, she's a bit vintage, but she's still iconic. 🎀💖 go forth and configure. 🌈🫶
