Hey guys! Is there a way for me to force apps to treat e.g. $HOME/.config/ as their default directory to look for settings? I want to clear up my home directory because its getting quite messy and I don’t even have that many packages installed yet.
Also, any way that would be easy and efficient for use with git for the purpose of backing up my dotfiles.
Thanks!
From my experience there’s no simple way to do it. It’s something you’ll have to handle on a per-app basis as there’s no standard that is followed universally. Here’s a website with links to resources on various methods people use.
