# Config

Atuin maintains two configuration files, stored in `~/.config/atuin/`. We store
data in `~/.local/share/atuin` (unless overridden by XDG\_\*).

You can also change the path to the configuration directory by setting
`ATUIN_CONFIG_DIR`. For example

```
export ATUIN_CONFIG_DIR = /home/ellie/.atuin
```

## Client config

```
~/.config/atuin/config.toml
```

The client runs on a user's machine, and unless you're running a server, this
is what you care about.

See [config.toml](../atuin-client/config.toml) for an example

### `dialect`

This configures how the [stats](stats.md) command parses dates. It has two
possible values

```
dialect = "uk"
```

or

```
dialect = "us"
```

and defaults to "us".

### `auto_sync`

Configures whether or not to automatically sync, when logged in. Defaults to
true

```
auto_sync = true/false
```

### `sync_address`

The address of the server to sync with! Defaults to `https://api.atuin.sh`.

```
sync_address = "https://api.atuin.sh"
```

### `sync_frequency`

How often to automatically sync with the server. This can be given in a
"human readable" format. For example, `10s`, `20m`, `1h`, etc. Defaults to `1h`.

If set to `0`, Atuin will sync after every command. Some servers may potentially
rate limit, which won't cause any issues.

```
sync_frequency = "1h"
```

### `db_path`

The path to the Atuin SQlite database. Defaults to
`~/.local/share/atuin/history.db`.

```
db_path = "~/.history.db"
```

### `key_path`

The path to the Atuin encryption key. Defaults to
`~/.local/share/atuin/key`.

```
key = "~/.atuin-key"
```

### `session_path`

The path to the Atuin server session file. Defaults to
`~/.local/share/atuin/session`. This is essentially just an API token

```
key = "~/.atuin-session"
```

### `search_mode`

Which search mode to use. Atuin supports both "prefix" and full text search
modes. The former will essentially search for "query*", and the latter "*query\*"

Defaults to "prefix"

```
search_mode = "fulltext"
```
