astra config home path

astra config home path [-qV] [--no-input] [--[no-]spinner] [--dump-logs[=FILE]]
                       [--color=WHEN] [-o=FORMAT] [-p | -i]

Prints the expected path of the astra home folder, even if does not exist.

The folder is resolved in the following order:

  2. The XDG_DATA_HOME spec (e.g. $XDG_DATA_HOME/astra)

  3. The default home directory (e.g. ~/.astra)

By default, shows informational output when running in a TTY (interactive terminal), and plain path output when piped or redirected.

-i, --info
