How to configure caravel

The caravel configuration file

Caravel just needs a list of your PEP-formatted projects, which you specify like this:

projects:
  - path/to/project1_config.yaml
  - path/to/project2_config.yaml

You can also use globs to add a variable-named projects:

projects:
  - folder/where/I/store/PEPs/*/*_config.yaml

The paths in the file should be either absolute or relative to the location of the caravel configuration file.

The $CARAVEL environment variable

You can avoid passing the configuration file with -c by putting that path into the $CARAVEL environment variable:

export CARAVEL="/path/to/caravel.yaml"

This way you can start it up with nothing more than caravel.
