Follow XDG Base Directory Specification
dariuskramer opened this issue · comments
Hi
Nice project that you have here, but what prevents me from using it is that it does not follow the XDG Base Directory and store his config files on $HOME/.corgi (as seen here)
It would be good if you could follow this specification here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
Mainly the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME variable.
Thanks in advance :)
hi @dkrmr , thanks for the suggestion! I don't see the env variable being set on my mac and did some googling, it seems to be something linux specific?
I'll make changes so that if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, .corgi will be initialized there, otherwise it'll default to $HOME/.corgi. sounds good?
Sounds perfect :)
And yes, it is Linux specific.
Requested changes have landed in develop! if you would like to try it out first you could build corgi from scratch :) but expect an official release some time around early next week! Thanks
Thx for your changes! I tested it but there is a minor inconvenient. Directories in XDG_CONFIG_HOME are not hidden (no leading .). Can you change it ?
I created a pull request for you, #29, that resolves this issue. I also factorized the use of XDG_CONFIG_HOME as it can be used to have a more homogene cross-platform configuration scheme
thanks for contributing! PR reviewed, and we can have more code related discussion over there :)
