Hi Rick,

Ok, sorry for the confusion. In the husky.config section '[...]' it has the regular meaning of left out lines. ;-)
And in reality I don't have 1 big husky.config file, but it is split up in a few sections that are included in the main file.

The only explicit change in path (with a cd command) I do, is before gnlnx that needs to be executed in the directory where the golded config files reside.


Bye, Wilfred.
