-**navi** doesn't have support for aliases as first-class citizens at the moment.

-However, it is trivial to create aliases using **navi** + a few conventions.
-
-For example, suppose you decide to end some of your commands with `:: <some_alias>`:
-
-```bash
-% aliases

-# This is one command :: el
-echo lorem ipsum
-
-# This is another command :: ef
-echo foo bar

-Then, if you use **navi** as a [shell scripting tool](shell_scripting.md), you could add something similar to this in your `.bashrc`-like file:

-}
-
-alias el="navialias el"
-alias ef="navialias ef"
-```
-
-If you don't want to use these conventions, you can even add full comments in your aliases:
-
-```bash
-navibestmatch() {
-    navi --query "$1" --best-match
-}
-
-alias el="navibestmatch 'This is one command'"

+## Config file path
+
+The default config file path is set by the `$NAVI_CONFIG` environment variable. If it is not set, it fallbacks to `~/.config/navi/config.yaml`. The command
+```sh
+navi info config-path
+```
+prints which config file path is being used. You can get an config file example by running
+```sh
+navi info config-example
+```
+or by clicking [here](./config_file_example.yaml). To turn this example your config file, run
+
+```sh
+navi info config-example > "$(navi info config-path)"
+```
+## Cheat sheet paths
+
+The default `.cheat` files paths are defined in the `$NAVI_PATH` environment variable in a colon-separated list, e.g.,
+```sh
+export NAVI_PATH='/path/to/a/dir:/path/to/another/dir:/yet/another/dir'
+```
+If this environment variable is unset or if all directories do not exist, `navi` uses that paths defined in its config files. Finally, if there is no config file or if the `.cheat` file paths was not set, the default `.cheat` file paths fallbacks to `~/.local/share/navi/cheats/`. The command
+```sh
+navi info cheats-path
+```
+prints to you all paths used to search for `.cheat` files. 
+
+You can also add other paths at runtime by running `navi` with the `--path` option and a colon-separed paths list, e.g.,
+```sh
+navi --path '/some/dir:/other/dir'
+```
+It's irrelevant the directory structure within each path. They can even be all in a single file if you wish, as long as you split them accordingly with lines starting with `%`.
