What does the rc stand for in the names of configuration files? [duplicate]
Many tools in the modern JavaScript ecosystem name their configuration files ending in the letters rc. For example:
ES Lint -> .eslintrc.json
npm -> .npmrc.json
yarn -> .yarnrc
I know that these are configuration files.
The c most likely stands for configuration. What is the r in rc?
