# Cross-Shell Environment Variable Configuration using Xshe #

#############################################################

# These lines add the environment variables for the XDG Base Directory Specification.
# (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)
# We need to use $HOME instead of ~, because ~ is not expanded.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME = "$HOME/.config"
XDG_DATA_HOME = "$HOME/.local/share"
XDG_STATE_HOME = "$HOME/.local/state"
XDG_CACHE_HOME = "$HOME/.cache"

# Another environment variable!
BIN_HOME = "$HOME/.local/bin"

# Now, we set up another environment variable that is relative to $XDG_DATA_HOME.
# Because environment variables are added in the order that they appear in this file,
# we can be sure that $XDG_DATA_HOME will be set before we set this variable.
CARGO_HOME = "$XDG_DATA_HOME/cargo"

# Declaring paths should be done with an array of values, like this.
# Xshe will join them together in the correct way based on the shell that is being used.
PATH = ["$PATH", "$BIN_HOME", "$CARGO_HOME/bin"]

# We can evaluate dynamic variable values like this.
# Here, we set the variable $EDITOR to the location of the editor nano, wherever it is on the system.
EDITOR = "$(which nano)"

# Now, we can set environment variables for specific shells instead of all of them:

[shell.bash]
# $HISTFILE will only be set to this file for bash
HISTFILE = "$XDG_STATE_HOME/bash_history"

[shell.zsh]
# $HISTFILE will only be set to this file for zsh
HISTFILE = "$XDG_STATE_HOME/zsh_history"

# We can also set more values only for zsh:
ZDOTDIR = "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zsh"
ZSH_CACHE_DIR = "$XDG_CACHE_HOME/oh-my-zsh"

[shell.fish]
# And also some fish-only environment variables:
fish_greeting = "Welcome to fish, human"
