Re: How to migrate from madduck’s vcsh to RichiH’s vcsh
For the sake of completeness, this is why I noted it in the first place: 3) Set up $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mr/available.d/ with configs for each of your fgits repos, following the templates in the new vcsh docs. Make sure you have one for each chunk of your old ~/.mrconfig. 5) mv ~/.fgits/* $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/repo.d/ I.e. if you follow Sean's guide literally without setting the variable, you will end up with stuff in $PWD, not ~/.config .

Not sure what "outside of vcsh" means, but any app/script implementing xdg
should not assume the var is set.
i.e. the user _never_ needs to set this var.

Of course ;)
What I meant was "if you use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME outside of vcsh, make
sure it exists"

exactly. scripts (and oneliners/commands) should use
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}
expecting this var to be set is a spec violation. (things would be simpler if
the spec would dictate
that the var always needs to be set, but...)

You should probably use $HOME/.config by default if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not
set. I would usually add a line like this somewhere at the top of a script, to
be sure it is set to something:
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}
