+## Configuration Files
+
+Instead of using command-line arguments, you can use configuration files for batch processing. Configuration files use a simple `key=value` format with support for comments.
+
+**Create an example configuration file:**
+
+```bash
+gmshairfoil2d --example_config
+```
+
+**Use a configuration file:**
+
+```bash
+gmshairfoil2d --config my_config.cfg
+```
+
+**Override config values with CLI arguments:**
+
+```bash
+gmshairfoil2d --config my_config.cfg --aoa 5.0
+```
+
+**Save current configuration to file:**
+
+```bash
+gmshairfoil2d --naca 0012 --aoa 5.0 --save_config my_config.cfg
