# Generate Files

The Specify CLI can be configured by default with a configuration file named `.specifyrc.json` . You can also override these settings [from command line parameters](https://docs.specifyapp.com/reference/specify-cli).

The configuration file lets you describe your transformation pipelines (aka [Parser Rule](https://docs.specifyapp.com/concepts/parsers-engine#parser-rules)) following the [Parser Engine API](https://docs.specifyapp.com/concepts/parsers-engine) to generate your output. The [configuration file 101](https://docs.specifyapp.com/guides/configuration) guide provides full documentation of the configuration file API.
