-> Nitro loads the configuration using [c12](https://github.com/unjs/c12), giving more  possibilities such as using `.nitrorc` file in current working directory or in the user's home directory.
+### Supported configuration files
+
+Nitro loads its configuration using [c12](https://github.com/unjs/c12) from the project root directory (the directory passed to the `nitro` CLI, defaulting to the current working directory). The following locations are checked in order and the first matching file is used:
+
+- `nitro.config.{js,ts,mjs,cjs,mts,cts,json,jsonc,json5,yaml,yml,toml}`
+- `.config/nitro.{js,ts,mjs,cjs,mts,cts,json,jsonc,json5,yaml,yml,toml}`
+- `.config/nitro.config.{js,ts,mjs,cjs,mts,cts,json,jsonc,json5,yaml,yml,toml}`
+
+Using `nitro.config.ts` is the recommended convention.
+
+An extensionless `.nitrorc` file in the same directory is also loaded (using `key=value` syntax) and merged with lower priority than the main configuration file.
+
+When using the Vite plugin, options can also be passed inline with the `nitro` key in `vite.config.ts` (as shown above).
