# Configuration

Pijul is configured using `config.toml` files; users can take advantage of both global and repository-specific configuration.

## Global configuration

The location of Pijul's global configuration depends on the conventions of the user's operating system; Pijul will first try to instantiate a global configuration in the user's congiruation directory according to [this table](https://docs.rs/dirs-next/2.0.0/dirs_next/fn.config_dir.html). If pijul cannot access the conventional config location, it will fall back to the [home directory](https://docs.rs/dirs-next/2.0.0/dirs_next/fn.home_dir.html), using `$HOME/.config/pijul`. If that fails, `$HOME/.pijulconfig` will be tried as a last resort.


## Repository configuration

Users can take advantage of repository-specific configuration by editing the appropriate toml file: `<repo>/.pijul/config.toml`. Repository-specific configuration settings have a higher precedence than global configuration settings.

## Ignore

Items in a repository can be ignored by editing a repository's `.ignore` file. Pijul supports standard glob syntax in `.ignore` files.
