NAME
     glab-config-path - Print the location of the global configuration file.

SYNOPSIS
     glab config path [flags]

DESCRIPTION
     Print  where  glab  reads and writes its global configuration. The location
     depends on the platform and whether a legacy  configuration  directory  ex-
     ists, so use this command instead of hard-coding a path.

     The  command  prints the path even if the file does not exist yet, so it is
     safe to run before the first glab auth login.

     Use --dir to print the parent directory. Grant write access to that  direc-
     tory  rather than to config.yml alone, because glab writes a temporary file
     in that directory first and then replaces config.yml with it.

     Repository-local settings live in the repository's .git/glab-cli/config.yml
     and this command does not report them.

     If no user configuration file exists, glab falls back to a  read-only  sys-
     tem-wide one. This command always reports the user location.

OPTIONS
     --dir[=false]	Print the configuration directory instead of the config-
     uration file.

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS
     -h, --help[=false]      Show help for this command.

EXAMPLE
     # Print the path to the global configuration file
     glab config path

     # Print the directory that holds the configuration file
     glab config path --dir

     # Open the configuration file in an editor
     $EDITOR "$(glab config path)"
