# https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/settings.html names the config

# directory: "~/.config/hexchat" on Unix and "%APPDATA%\HexChat" on Windows.

# HexChat is a GLib program and takes that directory from the user config dir,

# which is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME on Unix and %APPDATA% on Windows, so one

# [configHome] root stands for both spellings — the documentation capitalises

# the Windows one, which resolves to the same directory on that platform's

# case-insensitive filesystem. The Flatpak and Snap builds relocate the whole

# tree under their own sandbox roots (~/.var/app/io.github.Hexchat/config and

# ~/snap/hexchat/current/.config), which no consumer can address from here.

# There are no macOS builds: the same page lists Windows, Unix, Flatpak and Snap

# and nothing else, and Homebrew has no hexchat cask.

# src/common/servlist.c writes the network list one `K=value` line at a time and

# reads it back through a switch on the letter. `case 'P'` is net->pass —

# `fprintf (fp, "P=%s\n", net->pass)` — the single password field the network

# dialog fills, used for a server password, a SASL password or a NickServ

# password depending on the login method in `L=`. 'A' and 'B' are the separate

# SASL and NickServ passwords older releases wrote; the reader still accepts

# them for migration, so a config file written by an older HexChat still carries

# them and all three are listed.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/hexchat. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these keeps the credential file out.
