### Configuration

You may optionally specify additional queries for CodeQL to execute by using a config file. The queries must belong to a [QL pack](https://help.semmle.com/codeql/codeql-cli/reference/qlpack-overview.html) and can be in your repository or any public repository. You can choose a single .ql file, a folder containing multiple .ql files, a .qls [query suite](https://help.semmle.com/codeql/codeql-cli/procedures/query-suites.html) file, or any combination of the above. To use queries from other repositories use the same syntax as when [using an action](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsuses).

Typo in "locatio". I personally would also rewrite the last sentence as "Note that when using local queries starting with ./, the path is relative to the root of the repository and not to the location of the config file."

I think it flows a bit better. I know what you mean currently but constructions like "Note that for using" are a little bit odd, and I think flipping the order of the last two cases makes it more clear.

You can disable the default queries using `disable-default-queries: true`.
