Description
-
I am on the latest Hyper.app version
-
I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
-
OS version and name: Pop_OS! 21.10
-
Hyper.app version: 3.1.5
-
Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/sammyshear/1bc78aaecefb9b9ed1f978f1863ac041
-
Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): N/A
-
The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: I believe so
Issue
I use git and GNU stow to manage my dotfiles, including for Hyper. I just cloned my repo on a new system and installed Hyper. The problem is that it seems to only recognize the old config file instead of the one in the .config directory. The closest issue I could find to my problem was #1056, but it didn't help me resolve my issue.

Research direction
Start by comparing the legacy .hyper.js location with the .config directory configuration described in the issue and the linked Gist. Review issue #1056, then reproduce the behavior on Pop_OS! 21.10 with Hyper 3.1.5. Done means Hyper consistently loads the intended current configuration rather than the legacy file.
