Issue

I can not find "config" with ctrl + f from readme on GitHub.

Suggest

Improve documentation to mention default config file location.

Fine. Even though the man page is not mentioned either.

It is mentioned in the manpage, so from my point of view the documentation is present. We might be switching config architecture soon so I would say this may suffice for now, if you feel it's not enough feel free to amend the README.MD and create a pull request :smile: .

man 8 yay

CONFIG DIRECTORY
              The config directory is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/yay/. if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset, the config
              directory will fall back to $HOME/.config/yay.

              config.json Is used to store all of Yay's config options. Editing this file should be
              done through Yay, using the options mentioned in PERMANENT CONFIGURATION SETTINGS.

Fine. Even though the man page is not mentioned either.

And yet, it example config.json file won't be bad. :)

Seems like the directory is empty and the config file does not get created.
