From 9d700d75b67fb16f98cf14df4049730120de99c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jacobsalmela Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 07:48:14 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Update to reflect #20 You can add your own config file to permanently set variables used in the gravity script. If the file exists, gravity.sh will detect it and apply your custom variables. This is useful so when there is an update to the gravity script, you do not need to adjust the variables every time. --- README.md | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 9a0a9ed6..e7f2f9ba 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -17,6 +17,16 @@ On a clean installation of Raspbian, you can run this command to **auto-install ## Gravity The [gravity.sh](https://github.com/jacobsalmela/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity.sh) does most of the magic.
