# Zeus RC File

#### Zeus RC File

An RC file allows command flags specified in a json file to be used automatically without needing to add them to a command each time it is used. To use an RC file, on can be created in the directory: `~/.zeus/zeusrc.json` to persist between deleting boxes and updating Zeus, or in another directory using the `--rc-file` flag to specify the relative path.

Example RC file:

```
{
    "verbose": true,
    "type": "local",
    "update-mapping": true,
    "test": true,
    "compile": true
}
```

Example usage:

```
# use rc file in local directory
zeus test --rc-file ./zeusrc.json
# ignore rc file
zeus test -c --rc-ignore
```
