bypass global config / specific config

[fohrums]

when you have a global config set there is no way to bypass it if you temporarily want to use a different set of options.

e.g. my config will only extract audio by default:
$: youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BROWqjuTM0g
if I use a command added to get the video at highest quality it will still strictly take the global config instead:
$: youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BROWqjuTM0g -f 22

more of a suggestion; but, is there a way to have site-specific configs or config selection of your choice?

Can you tell us where and with what search terms you looked for a way to bypass the global config?

Because it's already there, just add the --ignore-config option to your command line.

[solved] --ignore-config

I actually didn't know a way to identify it besides a quick 5-min of searching. Now i know that the keyword I should have known was "ignore".

Thank you for the quickest reply ever and hopefully nobody else makes the same mistake.
