Config specifications

nf-core/configs are centrally-hosted Nextflow configuration files that allow preconfigured execution of all nf-core pipelines on institutional computational infrastructure. These specifications define the standards for writing nf-core/config configs.

While these specifications are mandatory for configs contributed to the nf-core/configs repository, they also represent proven best practices for developing high-quality, maintainable Nextflow configs that can benefit any nf-core pipeline user.
