Timewarrior stores its configuration in the user's home directory in _~/.timewarrior/timewarrior.cfg_.
|
||||
Timewarrior stores its configuration in the user's home directory in _~/.timewarrior/timewarrior.cfg_ on non-Unix systems (e.g. Windows or macOS).
|
||||
On Unix systems, XDG Base Directory specification is supported, if _~/.timewarrior_ directory doesn't exist
|
||||
(old config directory is still supported and has precedence over XDG BD compliant locations).
|
||||
This means configuration is stored in
|
||||
_$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/timewarrior/timewarrior.cfg_, which defaults to
|
||||
_~/.config/timewarrior/timewarrior.cfg_ if _$XDG_CONFIG_HOME_ environment

variable is not specified.

The Timewarrior rule system reads your timewarrior.cfg file and

- Define tags, exclusions, constraints

On non-Unix systems config file is expected in ~/.timewarrior directory.

On Unix systems, if legacy ~/.timewarrior directory doesn't exists, config is

read from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/timewarrior directory (if not specified,

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config).

The rules are a mechanism to apply late-bound logic and data to various

functions. Whenever data changes, the rule system is run, which will run each

rule in turn, if it applies, going from top to bottom in the rules file. There
