Gatsby: How to change package manager to yarn in windows 10?

[p32929]

I wanted to try gatsby today. So, I installed gatsby as global using yarn ( using yarn global add gatsby-cli ). then tried gatsby new gatsby-site https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world and the command prompt in windows showed some unrecognizable characters. So, I closed the CMD and tried gatsby new gatsby-site https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world again. This time, it started to install packages using NPM and I choose what package manager I want to use.

I tried to change the default package manager using this doc: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/glossary/yarn/
But I can't find the .config file in windows. Any way to change default package manager in windows?
thanks

This isn't really a gatsby issue...
~/ refers to your home directory so in users you'd go to C:UsersYOUR_USERNAME.configgatsby.

Like @SeanDYoko said open C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\.config\gatsby\config.json and edit "packageManager" to yarn

Thanks. But one small suggestion: It would be really nice if the folder location is also mentioned here: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/glossary/yarn/
