nano: Start the editor without using configuration files.

nano

$ nano --ignorercfiles

try on your machine

The command nano --ignorercfiles is used to launch the nano text editor while ignoring any configuration files specified in the nanorc configuration files.

The nano text editor is a command-line text editing program available in Unix-based operating systems. It provides a simple and user-friendly interface for creating and editing text files.

By default, nano reads the configuration files specified in the nanorc file, which consists of various settings and options for customizing the behavior and appearance of the editor. These configuration files can be found in locations such as /etc/nanorc or ~/.nanorc.

However, if the --ignorercfiles option is added while running nano, it will tell nano to disregard the settings specified in the nanorc file. This can be useful if you want to launch nano with a clean slate, without any customizations or preferences.

In summary, using the nano --ignorercfiles command will open the nano text editor without considering the configuration files specified in the nanorc file.
