| # loads it at runtime. That way the key never lives in this script, so you can | |
| # copy, share, or post the launcher without leaking it. | |

| # (default: ~/.claude). Giving GLM its own directory lets you run `claude` and | |
| # `claude-glm` at the same time, even in the same folder, without the two | |
| # sessions sharing state. Change the path, or delete this line to share ~/.claude. | |
