Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] maintenance: update systemd scheduler docs
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 23:11:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240322221327.12204-6-mg@max.gautier.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240322221327.12204-1-mg@max.gautier.name>
The `git maintenance` systemd scheduler no longer writes units in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
Describe the new behavior.
Instead of explaining manual ways to modify the timer, suggest the
systemd standard tool: `systemctl edit`.
