Where Is the ugrep Config File?
ugrep config file lookup with save and disable flags on Linux.
Last updated
ugrep loads config from the working dir first, then home. A config flag family selects, saves or disables files explicitly. Plain runs skip loading while the alias embraces it.
Not flag-only despite first impressions. The save flow writes defaults that later runs pick up. Keep project and global layers distinct.
Where ugrep stores this, by platform
~/.ugrep
Working dir file first, then home global. Save, select and disable flag family controls loading. Alias loads config while plain runs stay batch style.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create the config?
Run the save variant in home to write global defaults. Project files in working dirs override per repo. Disable loading entirely with the no-config flag when debugging.
Why does config apply inconsistently?
The ug alias auto-loads config with pretty sorting while plain ugrep runs batch style without it. That split explains settings that apply in one invocation and vanish in the other.
