Config File

For persistent configuration, and for certain configuration options, bottom supports config files.

Default Config File

If no config file argument is given, it will automatically look for a config file at these locations:

OS	Default Config Location
macOS	$HOME/Library/Application Support/bottom/bottom.toml ~/.config/bottom/bottom.toml $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bottom/bottom.toml
Linux	~/.config/bottom/bottom.toml $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bottom/bottom.toml
Windows	C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\bottom\bottom.toml

Like if a path is passed with -C/--config, if a file doesn't exist at the path, bottom will automatically create a new, default config file at that location.

JSON Schema

The configuration file also has JSON Schema support to make it easier to manage, if your IDE/editor supports it.
