Argo configurations are stored in /argo/config.py. This file is excluded from version control, and you will need to update this file with values for your local instance.

The first time the container is started, the example config file (/argo/config.py.example) will be copied to create the config file if it doesn't already exist.

This repository contains a configuration file for git pre-commit hooks which help ensure that code is linted before it is checked into version control. It is strongly recommended that you install these hooks locally by installing pre-commit and running pre-commit install.
