Editing ../config.json

I need to run babel to convert my JSX, but to do that I would need to edit the config.json, which is in the same directory as the repl itself, and therefore not listed under files. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

smh? @Coder100

shake my head, @sojs

um no it isn't

Ya it is. If you go into the terminal, type ls you get everything, the package.json, the yarn.lock, the .replit, and all the other files listed except config.json. change the directory: cd ../ and then ls you see the repls folder (the title of the repl), and config.json. @Coder100

It does not appear in the files:

I doubt anything from the root directory should affect your project in that way... @sojs

I've never had to ever use the root directory, and the only time I have is when I made a mistake. @sojs
