These configuration directives can go to the ``config/autoload/{,*.}{global,local}.php`` files, or in the
``module/<module name>/config/module.config.php`` configuration files. The merging of these configuration
files is done by the ``ModuleManager``. It first merges each module's ``module.config.php`` file, and then
the files in ``config/autoload`` (first the ``*.global.php`` and then the ``*.local.php`` files). The order
of the merge is relevant so you can override a module's configuration with your application configuration. 
If you have both a ``config/autoload/my.global.config.php`` and ``config/autoload/my.local.config.php``, the
local configuration file overrides the global configuration.

.. warning::

    Local configuration files are intended to keep sensitive information, such as database credentials, and as
    such, it is highly recommended to keep these local configuration files out of your VCS. The 
    ``ZendSkeletonApplication``\s ``config/autoload/.gitignore`` file ignores ``*.local.php`` files by default.
