@title Arcanist User Guide: Configuring a New Project
@group userguide
Explains how to configure Arcanist projects with ##.arcconfig## files.
= .arcconfig Basics =
Arcanist uses ##.arcconfig## files to determine a number of things about project
configuration. For instance, these are things it figures out from
##.arcconfig##:
- where the logical root directory of a project is;
- which server Arcanist should send diffs to for code review; and
- which lint rules should be applied.
An ##.arcconfig## file is a JSON file which you check into your project's root.
A simple, valid file looks something like this:
{
"project_id" : "some_project_name",
"conduit_uri" : "https://phabricator.example.com/api/"
}
Here's what these options mean:
- **project_id**: a human-readable string identifying the project
- **conduit_uri**: the Conduit API URI for the Phabricator installation that
Arcanist should send diffs to for review. Generally, if you access
Phabricator at ##https://phabricator.example.com/##, the **conduit_uri** is
##https://phabricator.example.com/api/##. Be mindful about "http" vs
"https".
For an exhaustive list of available options, see below.

Other options include:
- **lint_engine**: the name of a subclass of @{class:ArcanistLintEngine},
which should be used to apply lint rules to this project. See (TODO).
- **unit_engine**: the name of a subclass of
@{class:ArcanistBaseUnitTestEngine}, which should be used to apply unit
test rules to this project. See (TODO).
- **arcanist_configuration**: the name of a subclass of
@{class:ArcanistConfiguration} which can add new command flags for this
project or provide entirely new commands.
- **remote_hooks_installed**: tells Arcanist that you've set up remote hooks
in the master repository (see @{article:Installing Arcanist SVN Hooks} for
SVN, or (TODO) for git).
- **copyright_holder**: used by @{class:ArcanistLicenseLinter} to apply
license notices to source files.
- **phutil_libraries**: map of additional Phutil libraries to load at startup.
