@U08BJGV6E external configs are merged in arbitrary order, after that comes local configuration (`.clj-kondo/config.edn`), then namespace-local config

Thank you!

If I have my uber-great-config in a dependency and want it to override all other imported configs, is there currently a way to do that?

An idea came that we'd want a centrally managed clj-kondo base config that would live in repo A and be used by all other projects living in separate repos.

so I'd need something like: all 3rd party configs < my special imported configs < local config < namespace-local config

Any suggestions about this? Or is there an already established way to do something similar?

you can add a :config-paths entry with shared configs

or add the configs to a dependency and then use clojure-lsp or --copy-configs

the merging order shouldn't matter since third party configs should only be concerned with specific libs

Thanks, I'll give it a go, then. I'm still marginally concerned that I cannot reliably override parts of a third party config but I guess it should be a rare need.

explicit :config-paths has precedence over copied configs

Oh, so anything I name there explicitly overrides anything that's copied? Or is it if there's a config-paths entry then any other copied configs won't be considered?

the first

:config-paths is basically treated like local config

Oh, that's excellent, then

And I'm guessing the 'real' local config still takes precedence over those?

I think so, if I recall correctly

Copied < config-paths < local < namespace

Exactly what I'm looking for

Thank you!

I believe you can do it with this function: https://github.com/clj-kondo/clj-kondo/blob/master/API.md#clj-kondo.core/resolve-config

cool, thank you

you can also just lint an empty string and then you'll get the config back in run!
