Whenever I run any command line tools without sudo, they take the settings as in ~/.config and work fine. But whenever I run the same CLI tools with same parameters but with sudo, it falls back to default setting. How can I make this behavior consistent?

    The letter ~ (tilde) is relative to the current user. When you use sudo, you become root. So ~ points to /root. Whereas if you are not using sudo then ~ points to /home/yourname
