Multiple remotes in rclone configuration file(s)

After reading rclone's documentation I can see you add a remote like this

#normal space
[my-first-space]
type = s3
env_auth = false
access_key_id = XXXXXXXX
secret_access_key = XXXXXXXX
endpoint = fr1.digitaloceanspaces.com
acl = public-read

I want to move files between remotes, for that I need another conf block:

I create a rclone.conf file inside my user's home

Can I just add the other one below the first one?
How can I indicate rclone which config file to use

Run the wizard via rclone config. It is able to configure multiple remotes within a single config file, and it will place everything correctly. The configuration file has INI-like format:

[gd]
type = drive
...

[yd]
type = yandex
...

[uni1]
type = union
upstreams = gd:UCC yd:UCC
create_policy = rand
...

For all operations you can specify which config file you work on with --config option. This includes the wizard I mentioned:

rclone config --config="/path/to/rclone.conf"

(path may be relative). If you didn't specify any path, it will use its defaults, which is ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf (tilda means home directory). See the linked original documentation for details.

As you may specify multiple remotes in a single file, there is no need to have multiple config files in general usage.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
