Configuration

The configuration file, config, is loaded from these locations in the following order. Configuration is optional and if no configuration file is found, Ghostty will use its defaults.

  1. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ghostty/config
  2. $HOME/.config/ghostty/config if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined

The full default configuration, ghostty +show-config --default --docs. Best viewed with the less command.
