I made an edit to the wiki but I just found out that the Scoop wiki is private (i.e. I am unable to fork the wiki and submit the change as a pull request). The edit is pretty simple. I added a new page called .config-Directory-Relocate.md with this content:

### .config Directory Relocate

Scoop keeps track of the previous update time in the home directory in a directory called `.config`. By default this location in Windows is at `$env:USERPROFILE\.config` and on Linux it is at `~/.config`. This location can be altered by adding or editing the `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` variable to the environment.

For Windows, one way to do this, for the current user is to add it the registry and then to restart the shell:

    Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Environment -Name XDG_CONFIG_HOME -Value C:\Path\to\Desired\Location

I got the information from here and have tested it on Windows. Can someone add this content to the wiki please.
