Configuration¶
Config file format and location¶
Most of the information that BE needs lives in the bug repository itself, but there is user-specific information that does not fit into a shared repository. This per-user configuration information is stored in an INI-style config file:
[default]
user = 'John Doe <jdoe@example.com>'
The config file is located at ~/.config/bugs-everywhere
by
default, but you can override the path by setting environment
variables (see path()
for
details).
Settings¶
Currently the only information stored in the configuration file is a
user ID (see get_user_id()
), as shown in
the example above. However, many version control systems allow you to
specify your name and email address, and BE will fall back to the
VCS-configured values, so you probably don’t need to set a BE-specific
configuration.
