Description
This command helps set up the settings file used in the command reproot.
The settings file needs to be configured once per computer, specifying the locations on the file system where project folders are stored. This command simplifies that process.
Additionally, this command can modify an existing settings file.
Options
searchpaths(string) adds search paths to the settings file. If adding multiple paths, enclose each path in quotes and then enclose the full list as a compound string. Paths may include a path-specific search depth for each path.
searchdepth(integer) sets a general search depth for paths that do not have a path-specific search depth.
skipdirs(string) lists folder names that reproot should ignore. Sub-folders within ignored folders will also be excluded.
