Config File Locations

The following locations are used in ascending order of importance. All files are read, and values in later files override values in earlier ones:

  1. /usr/share/crestic/config.cfg
  2. /usr/share/crestic/conf.d/*.cfg
  3. /etc/crestic/config.cfg
  4. /etc/crestic/conf.d/*.cfg
  5. ~/.config/crestic/config.cfg
  6. ~/.config/crestic/conf.d/*.cfg
  7. environment variable $CRESTIC_CONFIG_PATHS, a colon separated list of files

The environment variable $CRESTIC_CONFIG_FILE can be used to override the joint loading behaviour. After setting this variable, no other files will be read.
