Config file

(setup.cfg has precedence over pyproject.toml for backward compatibility!)

You can adjust Pyhistory behaviour to your needs by adding config to pyproject.toml file:

  [tool.pyhistory]
  history_dir = "some_dir"  # 'history' by default
  history_file = "myhistory.md"  # 'HISTORY.rst' by default
  at_line = 42  # by default history will be injected after first headline

You can also add config to setup.cfg file. Just put pyhistory section in there:

  [pyhistory]
  history_dir = some_dir
  history_file = myhistory.rst
  at_line = 42

Differences in formatting

If you are using markdown format you must note that:

• Lines are not wrapped, setting for line length is ignored
• There is extra config for markdown formatting - md_header_level (default is 2) and it sets amount of # in headline for version
