An operation applied to a :term:`configurator`.
A commit checks for conflicts in :term:`configuration declaration`\s, and if none are found applies all pending :term:`action`\s.
It is possible, although not necessarily recommended, to invoke :term:`commit`\s using :meth:`pyramid.config.Configurator.commit` to :ref:`manually resolve <manually_resolving_conflicts>` configuration conflicts.

+ settings
+ Settings control the runtime behavior of a Pyramid application.
+ They are the aggregation of configuration file declarations, process environment values, other additions generated by Pyramid or its plugins and :term:`tween`\s, and values produced by your own code during application initialization.
+ Settings can affect all the components which make up the the application.
+ Pyramid itself, any tweens or Pyramid plugins used, and :ref:`your own code may reference <deployment_settings>` and act on settings.
