## .TOML Configuration File

You can use a `.pack-repo.toml` file in the same directory of pack-repo.py to set default options for this script.
To get started, go to the root directory of this repo, and copy the template file to src/ by the following command:

On Mac:

```bash
cp .pack-repo.template.toml src/.pack-repo.toml
```

On Windows:

```cmd
copy .pack-repo.template.toml src\.pack-repo.toml
```

Then, open and edit `.pack-repo.toml` to set your preferred defaults.
**IMPORTANT:** Command-line arguments will always override any settings from the `.pack-repo.toml` file.
