Documentation

[!NOTE] Documentation is still a work in progress

Documentation can be found in the hac wiki

Customization

Customizing hac is as simple as editing toml files on the config directory, which can be in different places based on your system and maybe in your environment variables, but you can run the following command to know where hac is looking for your configuration:

# this command will print the path to the configuration directory hac is trying to load
hac --config-dir

[!NOTE] You can check all the configuration options and what they mean in the wiki secion for customizing hac

hac comes with a set of default configurations, you can check more on the wiki, or if you prefer, you can dump the default configuration and colorscheme to the configuration directory by using:

hac --config-dump

# alternatively, you can specify a path

hac --config-dump <path>
