.devto.json

Per-project configuration file.

The .devto.json file is created by devto init in your project root. It links this directory to a specific devto workspace and project.

Location

Always in the root of your project directory. devto walks up from your current directory to find it, so it works from subdirectories too.

{
  "workspaceUrl": "https://my-team.atlassian.net",

  "provider": "jira",
