# names ~/.config/gotop/gotop.conf as the home location on XDG systems. Its

# %APPDATA% on Windows, so all three platform spellings are listed.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/gotop. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page.
