to your home folder, you'd add a `dir.toml` entry like this: to your home folder, you'd add a `silo.dir.lua` entry like this:
```toml ```lua
path = "{{dirs.home}}" local silo = require 'silo'
ignored = []
return {
path = silo.dirs.home,

mode = "exclude",
-- excluded glob patterns if mode is "exclude"
exclude = {},
-- included glob patterns if mode is "include"
include = {}
}
``` ```
Notice the use of templating for the path. The `dirs` variable contains paths specific to your platform. The `silo` module provides utility functions and values that can be used in configuration files.
`home` in this case would either be `{FOLDERID_Profile}` on Windows or `$HOME` on Linux and MacOS. You can print those while evaluating the config files by using the `log` module:
The `ignored` setting can be used to ignore certain files using an array of glob-strings.
```lua
local silo = require 'silo'
local log = require 'log'
log.debug(silo) -- debug prints the input value serialized as json
return {
path = silo.dirs.home,
}
