Configuration

Configuration

jjj uses a TOML configuration file stored in .jjj/config.toml within the repository.

Config File Format

# Project name
name = "my-project"

# Default reviewers for all solutions
default_reviewers = ["alice", "bob"]

# Custom key-value settings
[settings]
key = "value"

Fields

Field	Type	Description
name	string	Project name
default_reviewers	string[]	Reviewers added to all new solutions
settings	map	Arbitrary key-value pairs for custom settings

Deprecated: review.default_required has been removed. Review is now per-solution: a solution requires review when it has assigned reviewers. Use --review on jjj solution new or jjj solution review to assign reviewers. Solutions without assigned reviewers do not require sign-offs.

VS Code Extension

The VS Code extension uses the jjj.path setting to locate the jjj binary:

{
  "jjj.path": "/usr/local/bin/jjj"
}

If not set, the extension looks for jjj on PATH.

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
JJJ_DIR	Override the metadata directory (default: .jjj/)
JJ_PATH	Path to the jj binary

Storage Location

All metadata is stored in .jjj/ at the repository root:

.jjj/
  config.toml       # Project configuration
  problems/         # Problem TOML files
  solutions/        # Solution TOML files
  critiques/        # Critique TOML files
  milestones/       # Milestone TOML files
