# config/load
Load registry entries from a Deft map file, replacing the current registry contents. The file must be a flat `%{ "dotted/key" value }` map whose values are valid Deft literals.
## Syntax
[config/load ?path]
## Parameters
- `?path` — (optional) config file path, defaults to `.deft/config.dft`.
## Examples
[config/load] # .deft/config.dft [config/load ".deft/overrides.dft"]
## Returns
Boolean — `true` on success, `false` on read/parse failure. Existing registry entries are replaced, not merged.
