When it encounters a file it knows about, it will tell you whether it's possible to move this file to an appropriate location, and how to do it.
-Currently, a subset of the [arch wiki page on XDG_BASE_DIR](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory) is implemented as configurations.
+The configurations are from the [arch wiki page on XDG_BASE_DIR](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory), [antidot](https://github.com/doron-cohen/antidot) (thanks to Scr0nch for writing a conversion tool), and contributed by other users.

+## Running
+
+Clone the repository somewhere, then run the _./xdg-ninja.sh_ script.

+This will run every test in the default configuration.

+## Dependencies

+- your favorite POSIX-compliant shell ([bash](https://repology.org/project/bash/packages), [zsh](https://repology.org/project/zsh/packages), [dash](https://repology.org/project/dash-shell/packages), ...)
+- [jq](https://repology.org/project/jq/packages) for parsing the json files
+
+### Optional

+- [glow](https://repology.org/project/glow/packages) for rendering markdown in the terminal ([bat](https://repology.org/project/bat-cat/packages), [pygmentize](https://repology.org/project/pygments/versions) or [highlight](https://repology.org/project/highlight/packages) can be used as fallback, but glow's output is clearer and therefore glow is recommended)

### Automatically Generating Configuration
-You need _haskell_ and _cabal_ installed.
+You can download the _xdgnj_ executable from the releases page. Alternatively you can build it from scratch using _cabal_, _stack_, or the provided docker image in _build/_. (To be clear, this is just a tool that will help you automatically generate the config files, you still only need your shell to run the tests)
-Run the following command:
-```bash
-cabal build
+Available commands:
+```sh
+xdgnj add # Adds a new configuration
+xdgnj prev programs/FILE.json # Preview the configuration for a program
+xdgnj run # Mostly the same as running the shell script
```
-You should now have a binary which you can run. You'll find it in somewhere in _dist-newstyle/build_, for example in _dist-newstyle/build/x86_64-linux/ghc-9.0.2/add-program-0.1.0.0/x/add-program/build/add-program/add-program_.
+#### Building from scratch
-Execute this binary in this directory. It will guide you through the process.
+You can use `cabal build`, `stack build`, or the provided dockerfile in _build/_.

Luckily, the XDG spec is supported by git, so we can simply move the file to _XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config_.
We can use that last sentence as our instructions. In this case, there are no newlines, so escaping this string for use in json is trivial, however, this is how you should generally approach it:
