Way to manage local config

[a-b-r-o-w-n]

Is there a way for people to have some local config that doesn't need to be a shared setting and won't mess with git tracking?

I am specifically wondering about font size, which is stored in the config but is not a setting that needs to be shared.

Yeah, this is a good question. I think candidates are:

• font size
• font
• theme

I propose being able to configure the project pane being on the left/right side as well.

@radamant I just added a key binding for it because cmd-\ didn't work for me... (it's ctrl-- (dash))

So this will work for a personal.cson:

fs = require 'fs'
path = require 'path'
CSON = require path.join(atom.getLoadSettings().resourcePath, '/node_modules/season')

personalPath = path.join(path.dirname(atom.config.getUserConfigPath()), "personal.cson")

if fs.existsSync(personalPath)
  config = CSON.readFileSync(personalPath)

  for own scopeSelector, scopeConfig of config
    for own namespace, namespaceConfig of scopeConfig
      for own key, value of namespaceConfig
        atom.config.set "#{namespace}.#{key}", value, scopeSelector

But it has a problem... it writes the changes to config.cson, which means that file will be perpetually dirty. That's probably not a big deal but it is somewhat of a burden for updating since you'll need to stash, rebase, apply, deal w/ merge conflicts, etc.
