Configuration Files

Configuration files are documents used by software programs to store settings and preferences. They tell the software how to operate, such as user choices, system options, or specific parameters, so the program runs according to your needs or environment. These files are typically plain text and can be edited manually if needed, allowing customization without altering the underlying code. Think of them as instruction sheets guiding the software’s behavior, ensuring it functions correctly and efficiently in different setups or for various users.
