Config

GRPM uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/grpm and as fallback ~/.config/grpm as configuration folder.
A configuration named config.toml must be located in this folder.

token = "YOUR_TOKEN" # Your Github access token - Read only is sufficient
install_path = "~/.local/bin" # Default installation path

Package Database

GRPM tracks the installed packages in a database.
The database is located at $XDG_DATA_HOME/grpm/. If not set ~/.local/share/grpm is used.
