# User guide (advanced)

Some of Stack's features will not be needed regularly or by all users. This part
of the guide provides information about those features, organised as a reference
guide. Some of the features are complex and separate pages are dedicated to
them.

## Environment variables

The existence or content of certain environment variables can affect how Stack
behaves. For further information, see the
[environment variables](environment_variables.md) documentation.

## YAML configuration files

Stack is configured by the content of YAML files. A global YAML configuration
file contains non-project specific options. A project-level YAML configuration
file contains project-specific options and may contain non-project specific
options. For further information, see the
[YAML configuration](yaml_configuration.md) documentation.

## Global flags and options

Stack can also be configured by flags and options on the command line. Global
flags and options apply to all of Stack's commands. For further information, see
the [global flags and options](global_flags.md) documentation.
