Description

It is clearly stated in your documentation that poetry can be configured both locally and globally:

• The file poetry.toml stores local-configurations of poetry.
• The file config.toml stores the global-configurations of poetry.

However, the documentation does not specify what would happen if the same configuration (i.e. setting) was set in both files (i.e. both globally and locally) to a different option. My guess is that the local-configuration (i.e. the configuration in the poetry.toml file) would take precedence/advantage, but I am not sure, since it is not mentioned in the documentation.

Contributions to make that more explicit are welcome. And yes, local (project) config is overwriting the global settings.
