Here is the latest available version of the original page:

The current version has interesting information about astronomical phenomena, but is not documenting the app.
The archived page above seems to be correct about the proper place for the configuration file: on Aramo, Redshift expects the user defined version of redshift.conf in ~/.config and not in ~/.config/redshift.
The github README file points to ~/.config/redshift/redshift.conf, but any changes there are ignored.
I am a translator!
$ man redshift
REDSHIFT(1) General Commands Manual REDSHIFT(1)
NAME
redshift - set color temperature of display according to time of day
SYNOPSIS
redshift [-l LAT:LON | -l PROVIDER:OPTIONS] [-t DAY:NIGHT] [OPTIONS...]Skipping "OPTIONS"
CONFIGURATION FILE
A configuration file with the name redshift.conf can optionally be placed in ~/.config/.Perhaps I am a bit old fashioned, but I always look at the man pages first (and when I was writing software, I was also writing man pages for it). I also check the list of man pages in the package with
dpkg -L package_name | grep man

Interesting, so far we've been using /etc/redshift.conf out of the package manager, maybe it would be better to be suited per user rather than at a system level.
Indeed I was a bit confused not to find any redshift related file in the ~/.config/ directory on another system that also uses redshift (originally Aramo, now upgraded to Ecne). I must have found some clue about the /etc/redshift.conf file and edited that one.
