 Configuration
-=================
+=============
 
-.. _config-file:
+This content is now covered in the :doc:`User Guide <user_guide>`
 
-Config file
-------------
-
-pip allows you to set all command line option defaults in a standard ini
-style config file.
-
-The names and locations of the configuration files vary slightly across
-platforms.
-
-* On Unix and Mac OS X the configuration file is: :file:`$HOME/.pip/pip.conf`
-* On Windows, the configuration file is: :file:`%HOME%\\pip\\pip.ini`
-
-You can set a custom path location for the config file using the environment variable ``PIP_CONFIG_FILE``.
-
-The names of the settings are derived from the long command line option, e.g.
-if you want to use a different package index (``--index-url``) and set the
-HTTP timeout (``--default-timeout``) to 60 seconds your config file would
-look like this:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    [global]
-    timeout = 60
-    index-url = http://download.zope.org/ppix
-
-Each subcommand can be configured optionally in its own section so that every
-global setting with the same name will be overridden; e.g. decreasing the
-``timeout`` to ``10`` seconds when running the `freeze`
-(`Freezing Requirements <./#freezing-requirements>`_) command and using
-``60`` seconds for all other commands is possible with:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    [global]
-    timeout = 60
-
-    [freeze]
-    timeout = 10
-
-
-Boolean options like ``--ignore-installed`` or ``--no-dependencies`` can be
-set like this:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    [install]
-    ignore-installed = true
-    no-dependencies = yes
-
-Appending options like ``--find-links`` can be written on multiple lines:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    [global]
-    find-links =
-        http://download.example.com
-
-    [install]
-    find-links =
-        http://mirror1.example.com
-        http://mirror2.example.com
-
-
-Environment Variables
----------------------
-
-pip's command line options can be set with
-environment variables using the format ``PIP_<UPPER_LONG_NAME>`` . Dashes (``-``) have to replaced with underscores (``_``).
-
-For example, to set the default timeout::
-
-    export PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=60
-
-This is the same as passing the option to pip directly::
-
-    pip --default-timeout=60 [...]
-
-To set options that can be set multiple times on the command line, just add spaces in between values. For example::
-
-    export PIP_FIND_LINKS="http://mirror1.example.com http://mirror2.example.com"
-
-is the same as calling::
-
-    pip install --find-links=http://mirror1.example.com --find-links=http://mirror2.example.com
-
-
-Config Precedence
------------------
-
-Command line options have precedence over environment variables, which have precedence over the config file.
-
-Within the config file, command specific sections have precedence over the global section.
-
-Examples:
-
-- ``--host=foo`` overrides ``PIP_HOST=foo``
-- ``PIP_HOST=foo`` overrides a config file with ``[global] host = foo``
-- A command specific section in the config file ``[<command>] host = bar``
-  overrides the option with same name in the ``[global]`` config file section
-
-
-Command Completion
-------------------
-
-pip comes with support for command line completion in bash and zsh.
-
-To setup for bash::
-
-    $ pip completion --bash >> ~/.profile
-
-To setup for zsh::
-
-    $ pip completion --zsh >> ~/.zprofile
-
-Alternatively, you can use the result of the ``completion`` command
-directly with the eval function of you shell, e.g. by adding the following to your startup file::
-
-    eval "`pip completion --bash`"
