Global Config

Global configuration lives at ~/.config/quiver/config.toml.

Use it for:

global module dependencies
default git provider selection for owner/repo shorthand
install mode defaults
security defaults

Example

default_git_provider = "github"
install_mode = "clone"

[dependencies]
nu-utils = { git = "https://github.com/user/nu-utils", tag = "v1.0.0" }

[security]
require_signed_assets = true

Keys

`default_git_provider`

Supported aliases:

github
gitlab
codeberg
bitbucket

You can also use a custom host such as git.example.com or a full base URL such as https://git.example.com.

`install_mode`

Supported values:

clone
hardlink
copy

On Windows the default is hardlink. On macOS and Linux the default is clone.

`modules_dir`

Optional override for the directory where global modules are installed. If omitted, Quiver uses the platform Nushell config area under vendor/quiver/modules/.

`security.require_signed_assets`

Controls whether Quiver requires checksum metadata for downloaded release assets by default.

Global installs

Install from the global config with:

qv install -g

The global lockfile is written to ~/.config/quiver/config.lock.
