# https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/configuration/#location — one per-user

# file per platform, all of them equivalent: ~/.config/pip/pip.conf on Unix

# (pip goes through appdirs, so $XDG_CONFIG_HOME wins),

# ~/Library/Application Support/pip/pip.conf on macOS, %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini on

# Windows. The directory is [appData] on all three; only the file name differs,

# so the Windows spelling still needs a line of its own. ~/.pip/pip.conf is the

# legacy location, a plain home-directory dotfile.

# Same page: the http cache is ~/.cache/pip on Unix ($XDG_CACHE_HOME when set),

# Nothing pip writes here is a credential. An index-url *can* carry an

# embedded token, but the overwhelming majority are public URLs, and marking

# every index-url secret would cost more than it buys — the consumer's own

# content scan is the right layer for that one.

secret = []

# Every spelling. pip reads whichever exists, so a rule naming only the base

# directory leaves cache-dir — an absolute path to this machine's disk —

# syncing from a machine using the legacy or the Windows file. pip.ini is the

# same file under the name Windows gives it; the sibling check cannot see that

# from the name, so it is listed here by hand.

# pip picks the default itself, so a line here is the user moving the cache

# somewhere of their own choosing — worth keeping to rebuild this machine, not

# worth applying to another.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

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

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page. None of them splits cache-dir and cache-dir for you — that part is Otty’s own sync, or a template you write by hand.
