   * `banner`: display the banner (default *true*)
   * `longkey`: use long keys for dotfiles when importing (default *false*)
   * `keepdot`: preserve leading dot when importing hidden file in the `dotpath` (default *false*)
+  * `link_by_default`: when importing a dotfile set `link` to that value per default (default *false*)
 
 * **dotfiles** entry: a list of dotfiles
   * When `link` is true, dotdrop will create a symlink instead of copying. Template generation (as in [template](#template)) is not supported when `link` is true.
