+# Settings
+
+Copier settings are stored in `<CONFIG_ROOT>/settings.yml` where `<CONFIG_ROOT>` is the
+standard configuration directory for your platform:
+
+-   `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/copier` (`~/.config/copier ` in most cases) on Linux as defined by
+    [XDG Base Directory Specifications](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)
+-   `~/Library/Application Support/copier` on macOS as defined by
+    [Apple File System Basics](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGuide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html)
+-   `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\copier` on Windows as defined in
+    [Known folders](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/known-folders)
+
+This location can be overridden by setting the `COPIER_SETTINGS_PATH` environment
+variable.
+
+## User defaults
+
+Users may define some reusable default variables in the `defaults` section of the
+configuration file.
+
+```yaml title="<CONFIG_ROOT>/settings.yml"
+defaults:
+    user_name: "John Doe"
+    user_email: john.doe@acme.com
+```
+
+This user data will replace the default value of fields of the same name.
+
+### Well-known variables
+
+To ensure templates efficiently reuse user-defined variables, we invite template authors
+to use the following well-known variables:
+
+| Variable name | Type  | Description            |
+| ------------- | ----- | ---------------------- |
+| `user_name`   | `str` | User's full name       |
+| `user_email`  | `str` | User's email address   |
+| `github_user` | `str` | User's GitHub username |
+| `gitlab_user` | `str` | User's GitLab username |
+
+## Trusted locations
+
+Users may define trusted locations in the `trust` setting. It should be a list of Copier
+template repositories, or repositories prefix.
+
+```yaml
+trust:
+    - https://github.com/your_account/your_template.git
+    - https://github.com/your_account/
+    - ~/templates/
+```
+
+!!! warning "Security considerations"
+
+    Locations ending with `/` will be matched as prefixes, trusting all templates starting with that path.
+    Locations not ending with `/` will be matched exactly.
