Configuration
By default scl uses a user specific configuration file located at ~/.config/shell-command-logger/config.
If this file does not exist, the system wide configuration file at /etc/shell-command-logger/config is used instead.
If none of these files exist, the default configuration is used.
If a configuration file does not define a value (for example after an update), the default value is used instead.
Viewing config
You can view the current configuration using the following command:
scl config
To get a specific value, you can use:
scl config --get <key>
Example usage:
scl config --get data-directory
Modifying config
You can change the config by modifying the configuration file manually or by using the following command:
scl config --set <key> <value>
Example usage:
scl config --set data-directory '~/.shell-command-logs/'
If you want to reset all settings to the default, you can use the following command:
scl config --defaults
