+## Config file

+- [Example](#example)
+- [Location](#location)
+- [Creating the file](#creating-the-file)
+
+### Example
+
+An example config can be found by running:
+
+```sh
+navi info config-example
+```
+
+You can also read it online by clicking [here](./config_file_example.yaml).
+
+### Location
+
+Run the following command to check where the config file is/should be located:
+
+```sh
+navi info config-path
+```
+
+### Creating the file
+
+Run the following command to generate a config file with the default parameters:
+
+```sh
+navi info config-example > "$(navi info config-path)"
+```
+
+### Logging
+
+The log file will be created under the same directory where the config locates.
+
+And you can use the `RUST_LOG` env to set the log level, e.g. `RUST_LOG=debug navi`.
