Description
dpt(1) configuration lives in plain text files using POSIX shell syntax. The files are sourced by the
tools, not parsed.
Location
Configuration files are looked for in the following locations, in order, and every found file is sourced
by the script, later files possibly overriding the previous ones.
~/.dpt.conf~/.config/dpt.conf
Name

Tips & Tricks
Rundpt(1)fromgit
When bugs in dpt(1) are fixed or new features are implemented in git but not yet available in the
uploaded version, you may want to run dpt and its sub-scripts from your local clone of the pkg-perl-tools
repository. This can be done by setting the following variables in .dpt.conf:
# needed anyway, adjust path
DPT_PACKAGES=~/src/pkg-perl/packages
# specific for running from git
DPT__SCRIPTS=$DPT_PACKAGES/pkg-perl-tools/scripts
export PERL5LIB=$DPT_PACKAGES/pkg-perl-tools/lib
Storingtokens
If you keep your configuration files in a (potentially) public git repository, you might be wary of
sticking tokens like DPT_GITHUB_OAUTH or DPT_SALSA_PRIVATE_TOKEN in your .dpt.conf. As .dpt.conf is just
a shell fragment which gets sourced, you can put those variables in a different file (and don't commit
this one). E.g.
[ ! -e ~/.dpt.conf.$(hostname) ] || . ~/.dpt.conf.$(hostname)
