Config file

Redocly CLI comes with one primary configuration file (redocly.yaml), also known as the Redocly configuration file. This file defines all of the config options available to you, including the location of your files (for unbundling and bundling), and linting rules (for validation against the OpenAPI Specification).

The Redocly configuration file must sit in your root directory. If Redocly CLI finds redocly.yaml in the root directory, it uses the options set in that file when executing commands.

You can also specify a config file to most commands using --config myconfig.yaml as part of the command. For example:

Copy
Copied
redocly lint --config redocly-official.yaml openapi.yaml

For more information, refer to the Redocly configuration file docs.
