github ScoopInstaller/Scoop v0.4.0
Version 0.4.0
on GitHub

latest releases: v0.4.2, v0.4.1
one month ago

✨ Highlights

  • Scoop now has a new configuration option called use_isolated_path, which can separate the PATH of apps related to Scoop. If use_isolated_path is set to true, Scoop will add SCOOP_PATH to store these PATHs. If it is set to any other string, Scoop will use that string as the new environment variable's name.
  • Portable config file is supported starting from this version. Scoop now reads config file in <SCOOP_DIR>/config.json, to store configs in a portable manner rather than having it in ~/.config/scoop/config.json, you can copy ~/.config/scoop/config.json to, or create a new config.json in the Scoop root directory. There is no auto migration for it, it's optional and manually operated.
