The configuration file
There is a configuration file which stores the settings
of Gaia Sky. This file is in the YAML format and is located in
$GS_CONFIG/config.yaml (see folders). The default config.yaml file in our code repository is annotated with comments describing each setting.
Some settings can’t be modified from the user interface within Gaia Sky, but still can be edited in the configuration file itself. A double colon :: in the list below indicates nested settings.
