Global

A global configuration file can be installed to %USERPROFILE%\.config\genlinx\config.json to assist in using genlinx. This file can be edited to change the default values for the commands options.

If you would like to use a different location to store the global configuration file, you can set the GENLINX_CONFIG_DIR environment variable to the path of the directory you would like to use. This directory must contain the config.json file.

Local

A local configuration file can be used to override parts of global configuration file. This file should be placed in the same directory as the apw file and should be named .genlinxrc.json. The local configuration file will override only the parts you define. You don't have to redefine the entire configuration.

Example

To override the global configuration and not include compiled source or module files in the archive for a particular project, create a .genlinxrc.json file in the same directory as the apw file and add the following:

{
    "archive": {
        "includeCompiledSourceFiles": false,
        "includeCompiledModuleFiles": false
    }
}

Command Line

Options passed by via the CLI have the highest precedence and will override any configuration file options. However, additional paths passed via the CLI will be appended to the configuration file paths.
