 ## Supporting multiple config files in single isort run
 
-If you have a directory structure where different sub-directories may have their separate configuration settings and you want isort to respect these configurations, not just apply the same global configuration for the entire directory then you can do so with the `--resolve-all-configs` flag. Using the `--resolve-all-configs` along with providing the directory root as `--config-root` argument(if the config-root is not explicitly defined, then isort will consider the current directory `.` where the shell is running), isort will traverse and parse all the config files defined under the `--config-root` and dynamically decide what configurations should be applied to a specific file by choosing the nearest config file in the file's path.
