+# hledger.conf - extra options(/arguments) to be added to hledger commands.
+
+# hledger looks for a hledger.conf file in the current directory or above,
+# or in your home directory with a dotted name: $HOME/.hledger.conf,
+# or in your XDG config directory: $HOME/.config/hledger/hledger.conf.
+# You can also execute a conf file with a shebang line like the one above.
+
+# 1. This first, unnamed section is typically used for general options.
+# These affect all commands, or when not supported will be ignored.
+# To see the general options available, run hledger -h
+
+# don't check balance assertions by default (run with -s to check them)
+#--ignore-assertions
+
+# always infer these
+#--infer-costs
+#--infer-equity
+#--infer-market-prices
+
+--file "~/Documents/ledger/index.hledger"
+
+# always show prettier tables in terminal reports
+--pretty
+--tree
+
+
+# 2. [named] sections define extra command-specific options.
+# Options can be written on the same line or separate lines.
+# To see a command's options, run hledger CMD -h
+
+# help: prefer man pages, bypassing info
+# [help] --man
+
+# print: show more info by default
+[print] --explicit --show-costs
+
+# balance commands: use these defaults
