Allow global config.

A global configuration file (e.g. ~/.config/yapf/style) would be handy. The motivation is that I pretty much always use a line width of 100 and always want to dedent closing brackets. I don’t want to be specifying these on the command line every time I run YAPF, I want a global configuration that will be the lowest priority, immediately before the built-in config.

So the order would go:

• Command-line style.
• .style.yapf
• ~/.config/yapf/style
• Default options.

I’m not sure what you mean by that. Basically, it acts similarly to .style.yapf. Here’s how we check:

• Command line
• .style.yapf
• setup.cfg with a [yapf] section
• Default options

The check for .style.yapf and setup.cfg go from the current directory to the parent directories until it either finds one of those files or runs out of parent directories.

I just looked up the docs for XDG_CONFIG_HOME and it says this:

A user specific version of the configuration file may be created in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/subdir/filename, taking into account the default value for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set.
