+# Configuration file
+
+asciinema uses a config file to keep API token and user settings. In most cases
+the location of this file is `$HOME/.config/asciinema/config`.
+
+When you first run `asciinema`, local API token is generated and saved in the
+file (unless the file already exists). It looks like this:
+
+    [api]
+    token = d5a2dce4-173f-45b2-a405-ac33d7b70c5f
+
+There are several options you can set in this file. Here's a config with all
+available options set:
+
+    [api]
+    token = d5a2dce4-173f-45b2-a405-ac33d7b70c5f
+    url = https://asciinema.example.com
+
+    [record]
+    command = /bin/bash -l
+    maxwait = 2
+    yes = true
+
+    [play]
+    maxwait = 1
+
+The options in `[api]` section are related to API location and authentication.
+To tell asciinema recorder to use your own asciinema site instance rather than
+the default one (asciinema.org), you can set `url` option. API URL can also be
+passed via `ASCIINEMA_API_URL` environment variable.
+
+The options in `[record]` and `[play]` sections have the same meaning as the
+options you pass to `asciinema rec`/`asciinema play` command. If you happen to
+often use either `-c`, `-w` or `-y` with these commands then consider saving it
+as a default in the config file.
+
+## Configuration file locations
+
+In fact, the following locations are checked for the presence of the config
+file (in the given order):
+
+* `$ASCIINEMA_CONFIG_HOME/config` - if you have set `$ASCIINEMA_CONFIG_HOME`
+* `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/asciinema/config` - on Linux, `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` usually points to `$HOME/.config/`
+* `$HOME/.config/asciinema/config` - in most cases it's here
+* `$HOME/.asciinema/config` - created by asciinema versions prior to 1.1
+
+The first one which is found is used.
