Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/162

Possibly this is a documentation issue but I want a way to add a config file to the root of one of my repo to ignore certain rules and add others. In the docs I see a way to change rules with frontmatter and HTML comments but not as a default config file.

Note: there is some reference to an "options" object but I have on idea what file naming convention to use to have this get picked up.

@DavidAnson commented on GitHub (Jan 11, 2019):

This package provides a function that you call with whatever input you choose. If you want to standardize on a configuration file of a particular name in a particular place when calling it, that is under your control.

That said, if you are (also) using markdownlint-cli or vscode-markdownlint, both automatically apply any rule configuration you have in a file named .markdownlint.json.

Here’s some documentation about that: https://github.com/DavidAnson/vscode-markdownlint/blob/master/README.md#markdownlintconfig

And an example: https://github.com/DavidAnson/vscode-markdownlint/blob/master/.markdownlint.json
