Hyper .hyper.js config file in the home directory on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Last updated
Hyper reads its entire configuration from a single .hyper.js file in your home directory. Plugins, theme and shell options share the file.
JavaScript config means real logic is possible, including platform branches. One dotfile migrates the whole terminal setup.
