Where Does Cmder Store Settings and Aliases?
Cmder config folder with settings, aliases and history, portable next to the install.
Last updated
Cmder is portable: settings, aliases, tasks and history live in a config folder inside the Cmder install directory. Nothing touches AppData or the registry.
Portability is the backup story. The install folder moves as one unit across machines and drives.
Where Cmder stores this, by platform
Windows
[Cmder install folder]\config
Holds settings, .alias files, tasks and history. Entirely install-relative, so relocate by moving the Cmder folder. Close all consoles before copying.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Cmder settings?
Copy the whole config folder (or the Cmder tree) to the new machine. Aliases, tasks and history travel together since everything is install-relative.
