* `- git:` refers to a YAML file which is hosted on the [GitHub Configs Repo](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs) unless the user has specified a custom repository within the settings section of the config.yml file.
Within the above example, PMM will:
* First, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a metadata file named `Movies.yml`. If this file does not exist, PMM will skip the entry and move to the next one in the list.
* First, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a metadata file named `TVShows.yml`. If this file does not exist, PMM will skip the entry and move to the next one in the list.
* Then, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a directory called `TV Shows`, and then load any metadata/YAML files within that directory.
* Finally, look at the [meisnate12 folder](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/meisnate12) within the GitHub Configs Repo for a file called `MovieCharts.yml` which it finds [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/meisnate12/MovieCharts.yml).
* After that, look at the [PMM/chart folder](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/PMM/chart) within the GitHub Configs Repo for a file called `basic.yml` which it finds [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/PMM/chart/basic.yml).
* Finally, look at the [PMM/chart folder](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/PMM/chart) within the GitHub Configs Repo for a file called `imdb.yml` which it finds [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/PMM/chart/imdb.yml).
It should be noted that whilst the user should be able to edit any metadata files which are `- file:` or `- folder:` based, they have little to no control over `- git:` metadata files **unless a copy of the YAML file is downloaded and ran locally**. In the above example, if the user downloaded the [MovieCharts.yml file](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/meisnate12/MovieCharts.yml) from the [GitHub Configs Repo](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs) and placed it in the root directory of PMM (`config/`), then the metadata_path mapping would be updated to reflect this as follows:

As with `libraries:`, YAML files are defined to create the Playlists.
