+## Luau Configuration Files
+
+Luau configuration files are named `.luaurc` and they can contain an `aliases` parameter which acts like the [sources](#sources) parameter in darklua.
+
+The value of `use_luau_configuration` will change how darklua finds new sources. Before looking at the [sources](#sources) value, darklua will attempt to find the nearest `.luaurc` configuration file to each file it processes. If it finds one, it will load the aliases.
+
+This behavior is enabled by default. It can be disabled by setting `use_luau_configuration` to `false`.
