Configuration

configfile keeps its configuration in ~/.configfilerc, and its working files in the ~/.configfile/ folder: the mirror of your repository (dotfiles/), the record of deployments (state.json), the history (history.jsonl), the lock, and saved local changes (saved/).

~/.configfilerc is a JSON file, readable by you only: the repository URL may contain credentials, so if other users can read it, configfile makes it private and warns you.

{
  "repo_url": "git@github.com:me/dotfiles.git",
  "folder_path": "/Users/me/.configfile/dotfiles",
  "script_extensions": [".js", ".sh", ""],
  "history_max_size": "1MB"
}

folder_path may start with ~; a relative path is relative to your home folder. script_extensions is optional: without it, every file of scripts/ is a script. With it, only files with one of these extensions are; the dot may be omitted ("py"), and "" means files without extension. history_max_size is optional: see History.
