Users and Configuration

Yewdocs implements its own users. These are not the same as either the local system user nor the remote Yewdocs user. In ~/.yew.d/ you’ll find one or more user names. You can setup new users any time with the --user parameter that comes right after yd:

yd --user paul ls -l

Use this immediately after yd and the command will use that user context. Yewdocs tries to get the user via several means:

• user the current operating system user

• check for --user

• check for environment: YEWDOC_USER

• check for a config file called ~/.yew that has this:

  [Yewdoc] username = yewser

where yewser is the desired username.
