-Rant time: You've heard it before, git is _powerful_, but what good is that power when everything is so damn hard to do? Interactive rebasing requires you to edit a goddamn TODO file in your editor? *Are you kidding me?* To stage part of a file you need to use a command line program stepping through each hunk and if a hunk can't be split down any further but contains code you don't want to stage, bad luck? *Are you KIDDING me?!* Sometimes you get asked to stash your changes when switching branches only to realise that after you switch and unstash that there weren't even any conflicts and it would have been fine to just checkout the branch directly? *YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!*

## Changing Directory On Exit
If you change repos in lazygit and want your shell to change directory into that repo on exiting lazygit, add this to your `~/.zshrc` (or other rc file):

```

Then `source ~/.zshrc` and from now on when you call `lg` and exit you'll switch directories to whatever you were in inside lazyigt. To override this behaviour you can exit using `shift+Q` rather than just `q`.
+## Configuration
+
+All Lazygit configurations are stored on `<userConfigDir>/jesseduffield/lazygit/config.yml`, where
+`userConfigDir` is your OS-dependent user configurations folder, namely:
+
+- Windows: `%APPDATA%` (`C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming`)
+- Linux/BSDs: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}` (`${HOME}/.config`)
+- MacOSX: `${HOME}/Library/Application Support`
+
+This file is auto-generated on first run.
+
+You can also get the default values with `lazygit -c`, which returns something like:
+
+```

+
+### Custom pull request URLs
+
+Some git provider setups (e.g. on-premises GitLab) can have distinct URLs for git-related calls and
+the web interface/API itself. To work with those, Lazygit needs to know where it needs to create
+the pull request. You can do so on your `config.yml` file using the following syntax:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+ "<gitDomain>": "<provider>:<webDomain>"
+```
+
+Where:
+
+- `gitDomain` stands for the domain used by git itself (i.e. the one present on clone URLs), e.g. `git.work.com`
+- `provider` is one of `github`, `bitbucket` or `gitlab`
+- `webDomain` is the URL where your git service exposes a web interface and APIs, e.g. `gitservice.work.com`
