Config files

Global files

To get a list of all global files used by Bit:

bit globals
CopiedCopy
Global Dir        ~/Library/Caches/Bit
Log file          ~/Library/Caches/Bit/logs/debug.log
Global Scope Dir  ~/Library/Caches/Bit/scope
Config Dir        ~/Library/Caches/Bit/config
CopiedCopy

To change the global directory, set the BIT_GLOBALS_DIR env variable with a new path.

export BIT_GLOBALS_DIR=new-path/to/global-variable
CopiedCopy

Alternatively, you can temporarily use a different value for a command:

BIT_GLOBALS_DIR=new-path/to/global-variable bit init
CopiedCopy
