 ## Including specific files using a Codacy configuration file {: id="include-files"}
 
 The Codacy configuration file allows you to explicitly specify files or directories to include in the analysis. This is particularly useful for [bypassing files or directories that are ignored by default](./ignoring-files.md#default-ignored-files) or specified in `exclude_paths`.
