+
+Modify the Fuel CLI configuration file
+--------------------------------------
+
+The Fuel CLI uses the ``fuel_client.yaml`` file as a source for default
+settings. By default, Fuel stores the ``fuel_client.yaml`` file in the
+``~/.config/`` directory.
+
+**To change the default directory:**
+
+#. Log in to the Fuel CLI.
+#. Set the required directory path:
+
+   ::
+
+     $ export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/path/to/fuel_client.yaml/
+
+   where ``XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` points to the ``fuel_client.yaml`` file directory.
+
+**To specify custom settings:**
+
+#. Log in to the Fuel CLI.
+#. Edit the ``fuel_client.yaml`` file.
+
+   Alternatively, create a new YAML-formatted file:
+
+   #. Create a ``.yaml`` file with the required settings.
+   #. Export the ``FUELCLIENT_CUSTOM_SETTINGS`` variable:
+
+      ::
+
+        $ export FUELCLIENT_CUSTOM_SETTINGS="~/custom.conf"
+
+      where ``"~/custom.conf"`` is the path to the new configuration file.
+
+   #. Optionally, add the export to the ``.bashrc`` file:
+
+      ::
+
+        $ echo 'export FUELCLIENT_CUSTOM_SETTINGS="~/custom.conf"' >> ~/.bashrc
+
+.. note::
+
+   Custom settings override the default ones. Top-level values may also be set
+   as environment variables.
+
+   **Example:**
+
+   ::
+
+     $ export SERVER_PORT=8080
