each one in turn from a single borgmatic invocation. This includes, by
default, the traditional `/etc/borgmatic/config.yaml` as well.
Each configuration file is interpreted independently, as if you ran borgmatic
for each configuration file one at a time. In other words, borgmatic does not
perform any merging of configuration files by default. If you'd like borgmatic
to merge your configuration files, see below about configuration includes.
And if you need even more customizability, you can specify alternate
configuration paths on the command-line with borgmatic's `--config` option.
See `borgmatic --help` for more information.
