SYNOPSIS

dvc config [options] [name] [value]

dvc config manages DVC configuration at project, local, global, and system levels. Configuration controls behavior including default remote storage, caching, and automation settings.
Configuration precedence from highest to lowest: local (Git-ignored), project (Git-tracked), global (user), system. Common configuration sections include `core` (remote, autostage), `cache` (type, dir), and `remote` (url, credentials).
Setting `core.autostage` to true automatically stages .dvc file changes with Git, reducing manual steps. The default remote is set with `core.remote`.
