How can I install rtk into a non-default ~/home/.claude/ folder?

[FabianoLothor]

Claude Code allows custom folders and I use them to separate accounts, how can I install them on it without copy paste the files? Is it possible?

Please, consider support this env-var: CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=. rtk init -g --agent claude --dry-run

Supported now. This was added after the question in commit 05de9d3: 05de9d3

Current releases honor CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR for global Claude paths. Point it directly at custom directory that replaces ~/.claude:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/.claude-account-a" \
  rtk init -g --agent claude --dry-run

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/.claude-account-a" \
  rtk init -g --agent claude

No file copying needed. Use absolute path when switching accounts from different working directories; CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=. is valid only when command always runs from intended config directory.

Resolution order in current source is CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, then $HOME/.claude; empty override falls back to home:

rtk/src/hooks/init.rs

The fix is included by v0.43.0, so upgrade first if older binary still ignores variable.
