Comment on Ask HN: What is the best config file documentation you have seen?

Comments

php.ini

Seriously, that is usually the easiest configuration i had to deal with. Although there are hundreds of configurable options, each one is thoroughly documented in the same file.

Yaml config, although being better structured, rarely have any comments with explanation, and I’m still waiting to see one documented at 30% of php.ini.

Came here to say this. Configuring php.ini is actually fun for me. I love reading through everything in the file and often end up learning new stuff!

For those who've never seen it: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/php.ini-productio...
