glab(1)

NAME
glab-config-path - Print the location of the global configuration file.

SYNOPSIS
glab config path [flags]

DESCRIPTION
Print where glab reads and writes its global configuration. The location depends on the platform and whether a legacy configuration directory exists, so use this command instead of hard-coding a path.

The command prints the path even if the file does not exist yet, so it is safe to run before the first glab auth login.

Use --dir to print the parent directory. Grant write access to that directory rather than to config.yml alone, because glab writes a temporary file in that directory first and then replaces config.yml with it.

Repository-local settings live in the repository's .git/glab-cli/config.yml and this command does not report them.

If no user configuration file exists, glab falls back to a read-only system-wide one. This command always reports the user location.

OPTIONS
--dir[=false]
    Print the configuration directory instead of the configuration file.

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS
-h, --help[=false]
    Show help for this command.

EXAMPLE
    # Print the path to the global configuration file
    glab config path
    # Print the directory that holds the configuration file
    glab config path --dir
    # Open the configuration file in an editor
    $EDITOR "$(glab config path)"
