Configuration

The configuration options are passed in YAML format. The location of the configuration file may be influenced by environment variables:

1. if $SETTLE_CONFIG is set: $SETTLE_CONFIG
2. if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/settle/settle.yaml
3. default: $HOME/.config/settle/settle.yaml

A generic configuration file is automatically created when settle is ran with any command (except compl), if it doesn't already exist.

Configuration option

NOTE: the paths specified in configuration may contain environment variables, or a leading tilde.

• zettelkasten - path to the directory in which the notes are stored at

  If you don't specify an absolute path, e.g. notes, it's assumed you want your Zettelkasten to be at ~/notes.

• template - path to the template file for new Zettel

  If empty, or if the path is invalid, then templates won't be used.

Example configuration file

zettelkasten: ~/docs/zettelkasten
template: ~/.config/settle/template.md
