#884 Error: Could not read configuration file

Back in November of 2022, I cloned a repo from the Nest. I haven’t done anything with it. Today, I tried pijul log on it and I get

Error: Could not read configuration file at "/_working/contrib/pjcolor/.pijul/config"

Here is what is in that .pijul/config file:

current_channel = "main"
default_remote = "https://nest.pijul.com/levi/pjcolor"

[remotes]

[hooks]
record = []

Is the error correct? The file has all read permissions.

The date on the config file is December of 2020.

current_channel got removed from the config in 5OGOE4VW. The config file should probably ignore undefined keys instead of failing to load…

It should probably warn about unrecognized keys with a suggestion how to fix.
