+## Configuration
+
+This starter kit comes with runtime configuration out-of-the-box.
+It achieves this with 2 config files in the public directory: `config.js` and `configOverrides.js`.
+`config.js` is meant to be filled with a default for all of your application's runtime configurations.
+`configOverrides.js` is meant to be replaced during deployment with environment specific runtime overrides.
+
+### Using the `config.ts` file
+
+To use the config you import `Config` from `config.ts` and use the typed object:
+
+```tsx
+import { Config } from "../config";
+
+import { FunctionComponent } from "react";
+
+export const Navbar: FunctionComponent<{}> = () => {
+  return <h1>{JSON.stringify(Config)}</h1>;
+};
+```
+
+### adding values
+
+To add a value to the runtime config you have to take 2 steps:
+
+1. Add a type to the `RuntimeConfig` type in [src/infrastructure/config/RunTimeConfig.ts](./src/infrastructure/config/RunTimeConfig.ts)
+
+   ```tsx
+   type RunTimeConfig = {
+     version: number;
+     name: string;
+     myNewKey: string;
+   };
+   ```
+
+2. Add a key (if required) to [public/config.js]
