+# Schema taskrc Reference
+
+The `.taskrc` file is the configuration file used by Task. It can have either a `.yml` or `.yaml` extension and can be located in two places:
+
+- **Local** – at the root of the project.
+- **Global** – in the user's HOME directory.
+
+When both local and global `.taskrc.yml` files are present, their contents are merged. If the same key exists in both files, the value from the local file takes precedence over the global one.
+
