automatically stores all the configuration files used to create an archive inside the
archive itself. This is useful in cases where you've lost a configuration
file, or you want to see what configurations were used to create a particular
file or you want to see what configurations were used to create a particular
archive.
To extract the configuration files from an archive, use the `config bootstrap` action. For example:

This extracts the configuration file from the latest archive in the repository `repo.borg` to `/tmp/etc/borgmatic/config.yaml`, assuming that the only configuration file used to create this archive was located at `/etc/borgmatic/config.yaml` when the archive was created.
Note that to run the `config bootstrap` action, you don't need to have a borgmatic configuration file. You only need to specify the repository to use via the `--repository` flag, borgmatic will figure out the rest.
