+Config file format
+------------------
+
+This section describes the format of the SOPS config file.
+The file must be named ``.sops.yaml`` (not ``.sops.yml``!),
+and SOPS will look for it in the current working directory and its parents,
+using the first ``.sops.yaml`` file found.
+
+A specific file can be set as the config file by passing the ``--config`` global option
+or setting the ``SOPS_CONFIG`` environment variable.
+
+The config file must be in the `YAML format <https://yaml.org/>`__.
+
+The following top-level keys are supported:
+
+* ``creation_rules``: a list of creation rule objects.
+* ``destination_rules``: a list of destination rule objects.
+* ``stores``: configuration object for the stores.
+
+The following subsections describe how these properties are used.
+
+Creation rule object
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A creation rule object has three types of keys:
+
+#. Keys that determine whether the creation rule matches.
+#. Keys that determine the (groups of) identities (keys) to encrypt with.
+#. Keys that determine which parts of and how a file is encrypted.
+
+Matching
+********
+
+The keys related to file matching are:
+
+* ``path_regex``: a regular expression matching files to encrypt.
+  If not specified, this creation rule will match all files.
+
+Identities
+**********
+
+One can either directly specify identities for a single key group, or specify a list of key groups.
+If a list of key groups is given, the individual settings are ignored.
+
+To directly specify a single key group, you can use the following keys:
+
+* ``kms`` (comma-separated string, or list of strings): list of AWS master keys.
+* ``aws_profile`` (string): AWS profile to use for the AWS KMS keys.
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    creation_rules:
+      - kms:
+          - arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:656532927350:key/920aff2e-c5f1-4040-943a-047fa387b27e
+          - arn:aws:kms:ap-southeast-1:656532927350:key/9006a8aa-0fa6-4c14-930e-a2dfb916de1d
+        aws_profile: foo
+
+* ``age`` (comma-separated string, or list of strings): list of Age public keys.
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    creation_rules:
+      - age:
+          - age1s3cqcks5genc6ru8chl0hkkd04zmxvczsvdxq99ekffe4gmvjpzsedk23c
+          - age1qe5lxzzeppw5k79vxn3872272sgy224g2nzqlzy3uljs84say3yqgvd0sw
+
+* ``pgp`` (comma-separated string, or list of strings): list of PGP/GPG key fingerprints.
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    creation_rules:
+      - pgp:
+          - 85D77543B3D624B63CEA9E6DBC17301B491B3F21!
+          - E60892BB9BD89A69F759A1A0A3D652173B763E8F!
+
+* ``gcp_kms`` (comma-separated string, or list of strings): list of GCP KMS ResourceIDs.
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    creation_rules:
+      - gcp_kms:
+          - projects/mygcproject/locations/global/keyRings/mykeyring/cryptoKeys/thekey
+
+* ``azure_keyvault`` (comma-separated string, or list of strings): list of Azure Key Vault resource identifiers.
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    creation_rules:
+      - azure_keyvault:
+          - https://vault.url/keys/key-name/key-version  # Key with version
+          - https://vault.url/keys/key-name/             # key without version, the latest will be used
+
+* ``hc_vault_transit_uri`` (comma-separated string, or list of strings): list of HashiCorp Vault transit URIs.
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    creation_rules:
+      - hc_vault_transit_uri:
+          - http://my.vault/v1/sops/keys/secondkey
+
+To specify a list of key groups, you can use the following key:
+
+* ``key_groups`` (list of key group objects): a list of key group objects.
+  See below for how such a resource should be represented.
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    creation_rules:
+      - key_groups:

+
+Key group object
+++++++++++++++++
+
+A key group contains multiple identities (keys), similar to a creation rule object.
+Having more than one key group allows for the use of `Shamir's secret sharing <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_secret_sharing>`__
+which splits the file's encryption key up into multiple parts,
+requiring more than one identity to access the file.
+
+A key group supports the following keys:
+
+* ``kms`` (list of objects): list of AWS master keys.
+  Every object must have the following keys:
+
+  * ``arn`` (string): the ARN of the master key.
+
+  * ``role`` (string, can be omitted): the key's role.
+
+  * ``context`` (object mapping strings to strings): the key's encryption context.
+
+  * ``aws_profile`` (string): the AWS profile.
+
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    - arn: arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:927034868273:key/fe86dd69-4132-404c-ab86-4269956b4500
+      role: arn:aws:iam::927034868273:role/sops-dev-xyz
+      context:
+        Environment: production
+        Role: web-server
+      aws_profile: foo
+
+* ``gcp_kms`` (list of objects): list of GCP KMS resource IDs.
+  Every object must have the following key:
+
+  * ``resource_id`` (string): the resource ID.
+
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    - resource_id: projects/mygcproject/locations/global/keyRings/mykeyring/cryptoKeys/thekey
+
+* ``azure_keyvault`` (list of objects): list of Azure Key Vault resource identifiers.
+  Every object must have the following keys:
+
+  * ``vaultUrl`` (string): the vault URL.
+
+  * ``key`` (string): the key name.
+
+  * ``version`` (string, can be empty): the version of the key to use.
+    If empty, the latest key will be used on encryption.
+
+  Example:
+
+  .. code:: yaml
+
+    - vaultUrl: https://vault.url
+      key: key-name
+      version: key-version
+    - vaultUrl: https://vault.url
+      key: key-name
+      version: ""
+
+* ``hc_vault`` (list of strings): list of HashiCorp Vault transit URIs.
+
+* ``age`` (list of strings): list of Age public keys.
+
+* ``pgp`` (list of strings): list of PGP/GPG key fingerprints.
+
+* ``merge``: a list of key group objects.
+  These will be merged (by concatenating the keys of the same type) into this key group.
+  This property allows for the concatenation of key groups using YAML anchors, aliases, and overrides.
+
+Settings
+********
+
+The following keys configure encryption settings:
+
+* ``shamir_threshold`` (integer, default ``0``): Must be ``0`` (disabled) or an integer greater or equal to 2.
+  Determines the number of key groups that must be present each to decrypt the file's key.
+
+* ``mac_only_encrypted`` (boolean, default ``false``): If set to ``true``, only encrypted strings will count towards the file's MAC.
+  If set to ``false``, unencrypted values will also be part of the MAC computation.
+
+The following keys configure the specific values in a file that should be encrypted.
+Note that at most, one of these keys can be used.
+
+* ``unencrypted_suffix`` (string): A value is encrypted if its key **does not** end with this suffix.
+  All other values are **encrypted**.
+  Comments are always encrypted.
+
+* ``encrypted_suffix`` (string): A value is encrypted if its key **does** end with this suffix.
+  All other values are **not encrypted**.
+  Comments are always encrypted.
+
+* ``unencrypted_regex`` (string): A value is encrypted if its key **does not match** this regular expression.
+  All other values are **encrypted**.
+  Comments are always encrypted.
+
+* ``encrypted_regex`` (string): A value is encrypted if its key **matches** this regular expression.
+  All other values are **not encrypted**.
+  Comments are always encrypted.
+
+* ``unencrypted_comment_regex`` (string): A value or comment is not encrypted if it has a preceding comment (or a trailing comment on the same line) matching this regular expression.
+  All other values and comments are encrypted.
+
+* ``encrypted_comment_regex`` (string): A value or comment is encrypted if it has a preceding comment (or a trailing comment on the same line) matching this regular expression.
+  All other comments and values are not encrypted.
+  The matching comment itself is not encrypted.

+Stores configuration object
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The store configuration object can have the following keys:
+
+* ``dotenv``: this is an object. Right now no keys are supported.
+
+* ``ini``: this is an object. Right now no keys are supported.
+
+* ``json_binary``: this is an object, supporting the following keys:
+
+  * ``indent`` (integer; default ``-1``): the indentation to use in number of spaces.
+    ``0`` means no indentation (everything will be in one line),
+    and ``-1`` means indentation by a single tabulator character.
+
+* ``json``: this is an object, supporting the following keys:
+
+  * ``indent`` (integer; default ``-1``): the indentation to use in number of spaces.
+    ``0`` means no indentation (everything will be in one line),
+    and ``-1`` means indentation by a single tabulator character.
+
+* ``yaml``: this is an object, supporting the following keys:
+
+  * ``indent`` (integer; default ``4``): the indentation to use in number of spaces.
+    The YAML emitter used by sops only supports values between ``2`` and ``9``.
+    If you specify ``1``, or ``10`` and larger, the indent will be ``2``.
