+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+Gitalist can be supplied with a config file by setting the C<< GITALIST_CONFIG >>
+environment variable to point to a configuration file.
+
+A default configuration is installed along with gitalist, which is complete except
+for a repository directory. You can get a copy of this configuration by running:
+
+  cp `perl -Ilib -MGitalist -e'print Gitalist->path_to("gitalist.conf")'` gitalist.conf
+
+adding a repos_dir path and then setting C<< GITALIST_CONFIG >>.
+
+Alternatively, if you only want to set a repository directory and are otherwise happy with
+the default configuration, then you can set the C<< GITALIST_REPOS_DIR >> environment
+variable, or pass the C<< --repos_dir >> flag to any of the scripts.
+
+The C<< GITALIST_REPOS_DIR >> environment variable will override the repository directory set
+in configuration, and will itself be overridden by he C<< --repos_dir >> flag.
