/etc/ego.conf

Main configuration file for ego profiles and settings.

Funtoo Linux specific. Not available on stock Gentoo or other distributions. Requires proper /etc/ego.conf configuration. Ego is a wrapper around and intended eventual replacement for eselect on Funtoo; the shortcut `epro` is equivalent to `ego profile`.

ego was introduced by the Funtoo Linux project, a Gentoo-derived distribution led by Daniel Robbins (the original Gentoo founder). It consolidates previously separate utilities (profile selection, Portage tree sync, bootloader generation) into a single modular command and replaces portions of eselect on Funtoo systems.
