Mention includes in configuration section
When a user belongs to several organizations they may have different identities or settings for the repos belonging to each organization. Conditional include allow to apply those configuration settings to each group without defining them on each repo individually. A big problem with the feature is its discoverability. A brief mention in the configuration section to check out the details in the documentation can dramatically raise awareness.
