+# Configuration
+
+## gallia.toml
+
+All `gallia` settings stem from the commandline interface.
+The documentation for all available settings per subcommand is available via `-h/--help`.
+Frequently used settings can be put in a configfile which is called `gallia.toml`.
+Settings from the config file set the **default** of the respective commandline option.
+The config can always be overwritten by manually setting the relevant cli option.
+
+The configuration file `gallia.toml` is written in [TOML](https://toml.io/en/). 
+Inheritence is not supported; the first file is loaded.
+The `gallia.toml` file is loaded from these locations (in this particular order):
+
+* path specified in the env variable `GALLIA_CONFIG`; see {doc}`../env`.
+* current directory
+* current Git root (if the current directory is a Git repository)
+* `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gallia/gallia.toml`
+* `~/.config/gallia/gallia.toml`
+
+Only some cli options are exposed to the config file.
+The available config settings can be obtained from `gallia --template`.
+The output of `--template` is maintained to be up to date and is intended as a starting point.
+
+## Hooks
+
+`gallia` supports hooks for preparation or cleanup/postprocessing tasks.
+Alternatively, they can be useful for e.g. sending notifications about the exit_code via e.g. matrix or ntfy.sh.
+Hooks are shell scripts which are executed before (= pre-hook) or after (= post-hook) the `main()` method.
+These scripts can be specified via `--pre-hook` or `--post-hook` or via `gallia.toml` as well.
+
+The hook scripts have these environment variables set:
+
+GALLIA_HOOK
+: Either `pre` or `post`.
+
+GALLIA_ARTIFACTS_DIR
+: Path to the artifactsdir for the current testrun.
+
+GALLIA_EXIT_CODE
+: Only set for post-hooks; is set to the exit_code which `gallia` will use after the hook terminates.
+  For instance GALLIA_EXIT_CODE different from zero means that the current testrun failed.
