Project specific settings that can override globals

[nsantini]

silly question, but you mention a config file but not where it is or what to call it

[madwax]

Yep I have the same question. It might be a silly FTM for Atom question.

I cannot find it also. Why this info not in docs?

[codecontemplator]

You open the file using Atoms menu; file->config...

[codecontemplator]

Documentation should be updated to mention this.

The model VS Code uses where you get a per-project config file is a better approach and would be nice to see here. It may even be possible to steal the file format they are using.

Agreed. Project specific settings would be useful. I think the file format should be the same as for the "global" settings used for atom. Only that the project specific overrides the global is set. Seems like atom has no built-in support for this but it should be straight forward to search for a settings file in the project root folder.
