Configuration

Environment Variables

TIP: create bash files containg these variables and make them easily accessable. For example by symlinking them to ~/.bash_aliases or ~/.bash_profile . Or even easier, make them executable and put them in /usr/local/bin.

Ollama Configuration

Best Practices

Use ~/.rcontext.txt to define specific behavioral instructions
Include file saving steps in your context instructions
Use the index tool to initialize only source files, excluding environment and node_modules
