# Configuration
## Home path
By default, irssi stores its user files to `~/.irssi/`. To configure a custom path for irssi's *home* directory, run it with ``--home PATH``.
You can set an alias to always do this. In fish, do for example ``alias --save irssi 'irssi --home ~/.config/irssi/``'


## Logging
By default, irssi doesn't store logs. Enable this in irssi with ``set autolog on`` and set a reasonable path for logs with ``set autolog_path '/home/archie/.local/share/irssi/logs/$tag/$0.log``', for example.


## Automatic login
If you have a nick registered with NickServ, you can automatically login when connecting to a server (for example LiberaChat) with ``/network modify -sasl_username AzureDiamond -sasl_password hunter2 -sasl_mechanism PLAIN LiberaChat``
You can also automatically connect to the server on startup with ``/server add -auto -network LiberaChat -tls -tls_verify irc.libera.chat 6697``
