## Config file path
The default config file path is set by the `$NAVI_CONFIG` environment variable. If it is not set, it fallbacks to `~/.config/navi/config.yaml`. The command
```sh
navi info config-path
```
prints which config file path is being used. You can get a config file example by running
The default config file path is set by the `$NAVI_CONFIG` environment variable.\
If it is not set, it fallbacks to `~/.config/navi/config.yaml` in most cases.
There are available commands for you to see which path is used or its default value.
### Default config path
There are two `info` commands available for the users to know and understand
what is the default path for the configuration of navi.
> [!NOTE]
> The `info` commands DO NOT return the current value used by navi but exist
> as informative commands, they do not represent navi's running configuration.
- For navi `2.25.0` and later:
```sh
navi info default-config-path
```
- For navi versions earlier than `2.25.0`:
```sh
navi info config-path
```
> [!CAUTION]
> Since navi `2.25.0`, the `info config-path` command is deprecated.
> We recommend you to use `info default-config-path` instead.
### Example config file
You can get an example of a config file by running:

## Cheat sheet paths
The default `.cheat` files paths are defined in the `$NAVI_PATH` environment variable in a colon-separated list, e.g.,

Despite `$NAVI_PATH` being set, it will not be used when installing cheat sheets directly via navi's own commands. For example when running `navi add repo <repo>`, the default paths as per the `directories-next` package will still be used. To avoid this, you may simply clone repos via a regular `git clone` command, directly into `$NAVI_PATH`.
Note! `navi info cheats-path` and `navi info config-path` display the *default* path, not
the path set by the user. [It is known that this is a little misleading!](https://github.com/denisidoro/navi/issues/664#issuecomment-1004721178).
