# topydo.conf(5)

Configuration files for topydo

## NAME

topydo.conf - Configuration files for topydo

### DESCRIPTION

The *topydo* command will attempt to read configuration file information from the following locations:

• */etc/topydo.conf* • *~/.config/topydo/config* • *~/.topydo* • *.topydo* (in the current working directory) • *topydo.conf* (in the current working directoy) • *topydo.ini* (in the current working directoy)

The files are read in that order, with variables in later files overriding earlier ones.

The configuration sections and variables are documented in */etc/topydo.conf* and */usr/share/doc/topydo/Documentation.html*.
