Configuration

goto allows you to customize its behavior using a configuration file. This file provides options to define default search settings and exclude specific directories from the results.

Config File Location

The configuration file is located at: ~/.goto_config.yaml

This file is optional. If it doesn’t exist, goto uses sensible defaults.

Config File Format

The configuration file is written in YAML format. Below is an example configuration:

maxDepth: <integer>
excludeDirs:
  - <string>
  - <string>

Available Options

Option	Description	Default
`maxDepth`	Maximum search depth.	`5`
`excludeDirs`	Directories to be excluded from the search.	`".git", "node_modules"`

Example Configuration

Here’s a complete example of a typical .goto_config.yaml file:

maxDepth: 5
excludeDirs:
  - build
  - dist
  - .cache
