## Config file
- [Example](#example)
- [Location](#location)
- [Creating the file](#creating-the-file)
### Example
An example config can be found by running:
```sh
navi info config-example
```
You can also read it online by clicking [here](./config_file_example.yaml).
### Location
Run the following command to check where the config file is/should be located:
```sh
navi info config-path
```
### Creating the file
Run the following command to generate a config file with the default parameters:
```sh
navi info config-example > "$(navi info config-path)"
```
### Logging
The log file will be created under the same directory where the config locates.
And you can use the `RUST_LOG` env to set the log level, e.g. `RUST_LOG=debug navi`.

# Paths and Environment Variables
Navi uses the [`directories-next`](https://crates.io/crates/directories-next) package, which
defines platform-specific standard locations of directories for config, cache and other data (Mac users, this is why your files are being stored in `~/Library/Application Support/navi`).
## Config file path
The default config file path is set by the `$NAVI_CONFIG` environment variable. If it is not set, it fallbacks to `~/.config/navi/config.yaml`. The command
```sh
navi info config-path
```
prints which config file path is being used. You can get an config file example by running

It's irrelevant the directory structure within each path. They can even be all in a single file if you wish, as long as you split them accordingly with lines starting with `%`.
Despite `$NAVI_PATH` being set, it will not be used when installing cheat sheets directly via navi's own commands. For example when running `navi add repo <repo>`, the default paths as per the `directories-next` package will still be used. To avoid this, you may simply clone repos via a regular `git clone` command, directly into `$NAVI_PATH`.
Note! `navi info cheats-path` and `navi info config-path` display the *default* path, not
the path set by the user. [It is known that this is a little misleading!](https://github.com/denisidoro/navi/issues/664#issuecomment-1004721178).

# Paths and Environment Variables
Navi uses the [`directories-next`](https://crates.io/crates/directories-next) package, which

Mac users, this is why your files are being stored in `~/Library/Application Support/navi`.
To set custom paths for your config and cheat sheets, you can set the following
environment variables:
```zsh
export NAVI_CONFIG="~/.config/navi/config.yaml"
export NAVI_PATH="~/.local/share/navi"
```
