Secrets and local state
Gormes keeps configuration inspectable and routes secrets away from
config.toml.
| File or directory | Purpose |
|---|---|
$GORMES_HOME/config.toml | Non-secret configuration. |
$GORMES_HOME/.env | Provider keys, bot tokens, and other secrets. |
$GORMES_HOME/profiles/ | Profile-local config and state. |
$GORMES_HOME/sessions/ | Persisted session state. |
$GORMES_HOME/memory/ | Local memory and mirrors. |
$GORMES_HOME/gormes.log | Runtime log. |
Default GORMES_HOME is ~/.gormes.
