Configuration

By default, aliae expects a YAML file called .aliae.yaml in the user HOME folder. You can however also specify a custom location using the --config flag on initialization, or by setting the ALIAE_CONFIG environment variable prior to initialization.

eval "$(aliae init zsh --config '/Users/aliae/configs/aliae.yaml')"

# alternatively

export ALIAE_CONFIG='/Users/aliae/configs/aliae.yaml'
eval "$(aliae init zsh)"

The custom location can be a local file, or a URL pointing to a remote config.
