We have a winner!

I had this in my fish shell config:

set -gx LG_CONFIG_FILE "~/.config/lazygit/config.yml"

Removing the double-quotes solved it.

Thanks

Happy to know that it worked ^^

The problem with not expanding ~ should be addressed. I made a PR: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/pull/2015

Big oof 🙈

$ go build && ./lazygit
2022/06/21 18:29:30 stat ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml: no such file or directory

I also tried this just in case, but it made no difference:

$ sudo mkdir -p /root/.config/lazygit/
$ sudo cp ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml /root/.config/lazygit/config.yml
