Better way of handling configuration

[jolitp]

How is the best way to handle custom config? I saw in an issue that I could put the config files in a folder separate from the distribution, like how Doom-Emacs work, but could not find that in the documentation.

Hey,

Seems like we didn't port all of our previous documentation files to the new Doom version (and I gotta fix that, my apologies!). However, you can take a look at the old FAQ here as it does have a section about this.

There's also this small code chunk that tells you what directory is used by Doom-Nvim to look for your custom configuration files (and you can also tweak it to point to elsewhere you wish and should work as expected).

tl;dr

Doom-Nvim follows the same conventions as Doom-Emacs to handle custom config by default, that means, Doom-Emacs does make use of ~/.config/doom directory to store user configurations and Doom-Nvim does make use of ~/.config/doom-nvim directory for that purpose.

You can store config.lua and modules.lua configuration files into that directory and Doom-Nvim will look for them first by using a precedence order to load its configuration files.
