## CONFIGURATION FILES
git-lfs uses the same configuration files as git-config(1) with the same
precedence. Most options pertaining to git-lfs are contained in the `[lfs]`
section, meaning they all named `lfs.foo` or similar, although occasionally an
lfs option can be scoped inside the configuration for a remote.
git-lfs reads its configuration from a file called `.lfsconfig` at the root of
the repository. The `.lfsconfig` file uses the same format as `.gitconfig`.
These settings are read from a file called `.lfsconfig` found at the root of the
repository, though legacy support exists to read from `.gitconfig` as well.
Additionally, all settings can be overridden by values returned by `git config -l`.
This allows you to override settings like `lfs.url` in your local environment
without having to modify the `.lfsconfig` file.
