< p > cdist obtains configuration data from the following sources in the following

< div > < ol class = "arabic simple" >
< li > command-line options< / li >
< li > configuration file specified at command-line using -g command line option< / li >
< li > configuration file specified in CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable< / li >

< li > system-wide configuration file (/etc/cdist.cfg)< / li >
< / ol >
< / div > < / blockquote >
< p > if one exists.< / p >
< p > Configuration source with lower ordering number from above has a higher
precedence. Configuration option value read from source with higher
precedence will overwrite option value, if exists, read from source with
lower precedence. That means that command-line option wins them all.< / p >
< p > Users can decide on the local conifguration file location. It can be either
~/.cdist.cfg or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cdist/cdist.cfg. Note that, if both exist,
then ~/.cdist.cfg is used.< / p >
< p > For a per-project configuration, particular environment variables or better,
CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable or -g CONFIG_FILE command line option,
can be used.< / p >
