WAYPROMPT(5)

🌸 WAYPROMPT(5) — the config file glow-up 🌸

okay bestie, so this is config.ini, the configuration file for wayprompt — and yes, it's the config file used by all versions of wayprompt, so no matter which one you're running, you're in the right place 💖

✨ NAME ✨

config.ini — the configuration file for wayprompt 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So wayprompt reads its config using the INI file format, which is literally just variable-value assignments sorted into sections. It's giving very organized, very demure:

[section]
# This is a comment
variable = value;

When wayprompt starts up, it goes looking for a file in these locations, in exactly this order 👀:

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wayprompt/config.ini (or $HOME/.config/wayprompt/config.ini should $XDG_CONFIG_HOME be unset)
• /etc/wayprompt/config.ini
