-PDK builds the configuration of the module by reading a set of default configuration from `config_defaults.yml` and merging it with the contents of `.sync.yml` from module's root directory, if exists. Top-level keys of the resulting hash correspond to target files or represent a global configuration. Global configuration will be merged with the configuration hash for a particular target file. This allows a module developer to override/amend the configuration by putting new values into `.sync.yml`. A knockout prefix may be applied to elements within `.sync.yml` to [remove elements from the default set](#removing-default-configuration-values). Target files are created by rendering a corresponding template which is referring its configuration via the `@configs` hash. The data for a target file may include `delete: true` or `unmanaged: true` in order to have the particular file removed from the module or left unmanaged, respectively.
