 ## Configuration file settings
 
-Settings cascade from user to repository to local, with more specific scopes overriding more general ones. Command-line flags and environment variables always take the highest precedence.
-
-| Scope | Location | Purpose |
-|-------|----------|---------|
-| User | `~/.copilot/config.json` | Global defaults for all repositories. Use the `COPILOT_HOME` environment variable to specify an alternative path. |
-| Repository | `.github/copilot/settings.json` | Shared repository configuration (committed to the repository). |
-| Local | `.github/copilot/settings.local.json` | Personal overrides (add this to `.gitignore`). |
-
-### User settings (`~/.copilot/config.json`)
-
-| Key | Type | Default | Description |
-|-----|------|---------|-------------|
-| `allowedUrls` | `string[]` | `[]` | URLs or domains allowed without prompting. |
-| `autoUpdate` | `boolean` | `true` | Automatically download CLI updates. |
-| `banner` | `"always"` \| `"once"` \| `"never"` | `"once"` | Animated banner display frequency. |
-| `bashEnv` | `boolean` | `false` | Enable `BASH_ENV` support for bash shells. |
-| `beep` | `boolean` | `true` | Play an audible beep when attention is required. |
-| `compactPaste` | `boolean` | `true` | Collapse large pastes into compact tokens. |
-| `custom_agents.default_local_only` | `boolean` | `false` | Only use local custom agents. |
-| `denied_urls` | `string[]` | `[]` | URLs or domains blocked (takes precedence over `allowed_urls`). |
-| `experimental` | `boolean` | `false` | Enable experimental features. |
-| `includeCoAuthoredBy` | `boolean` | `true` | Add a `Co-authored-by` trailer to git commits made by the agent. |
-| `companyAnnouncements` | `string[]` | `[]` | Custom messages shown randomly on startup. |

-| `mergeStrategy` | `"rebase"` \| `"merge"` | — | Conflict resolution strategy for `/pr fix conflicts`. When set to `"rebase"`, conflicts are resolved by rebasing onto the base branch. When set to `"merge"`, the base branch is merged into the feature branch. If not configured, a picker dialog is shown. |

-| `statusLine` | `object` | — | Custom status line display. `type`: must be `"command"`. `command`: path to a script that receives session JSON on stdin and prints status content to stdout. `padding`: optional left-padding spaces. |

-### Repository settings (`.github/copilot/settings.json`)
-
-Repository settings apply to everyone who works in the repository. Only the keys listed in the following table are supported at the repository level. Any other keys—including keys that are valid in the user configuration file—are silently ignored.
-
-| Key | Type | Merge behavior | Description |
-|-----|------|---------------|-------------|
-| `companyAnnouncements` | `string[]` | Replaced—repository takes precedence | Messages shown randomly on startup. |
-| `disableAllHooks` | `boolean` | Repository takes precedence | Disable all hooks. |
-| `enabledPlugins` | `Record<string, boolean>` | Merged—repository overrides user for same key | Declarative plugin auto-install. |
-| `extraKnownMarketplaces` | `Record<string, {...}>` | Merged—repository overrides user for same key | Plugin marketplaces available in this repository. |
-| `hooks` | `object` | Concatenated—repository hooks run after user hooks | Hook definitions scoped to this repository. See [Hooks reference](#hooks-reference). |
-| `mergeStrategy` | `"rebase"` \| `"merge"` | Repository takes precedence | Conflict resolution strategy for `/pr fix conflicts`. |
-
-### Local settings (`.github/copilot/settings.local.json`)
-
-Create `.github/copilot/settings.local.json` in the repository, for personal overrides that should not be committed. Add this file to `.gitignore`.
-
-The local configuration file uses the same schema as the repository configuration file (`.github/copilot/settings.json`) and takes precedence over it.
