Dear Vikram& Simon,
In message4F9ACBD1.1080003@gmail.com you wrote:
patman shouts when it couldn't find a $(HOME)/.config/patman file. Handle it in a sane way by creating a new one for the user. It looks for a user.name and user.email in the global .gitconfig file, waits for the user input if it can't find those.
I have a more general question here: Why is the config file in $(HOME)/.config/patman (instead for example $(HOME)/.patman) ?
My understanding is that $(HOME)/.config/ is defined by the XDG Base Directory Specification - but patman has nothign to do with the X11 desktop - or has it?
Your argument is right. But Simon is the right person for answering this as he is the one who pushed patman.
