config

python @milc.cli.argument('-a', '--all', action='store_true', help='Show all configuration options.') @milc.cli.argument('-ro', '--read-only', arg_only=True, action='store_true', help='Operate in read-only mode.') @milc.cli.argument('configs', nargs='*', arg_only=True, help='Configuration options to read or write.') @milc.cli.subcommand("Read and write configuration settings.") def config(cli: MILC) -> bool

Read and write config settings.

This script iterates over the config_tokens supplied as argument. Each config_token has the following form:

section[.key][=value]

For nested subcommands, section paths use dots: remote.add.url=https://...

If only a section (EG 'compile') is supplied all keys for that section will be displayed.

If section.key is supplied the value for that single key will be displayed.

If section.key=value is supplied the value for that single key will be set.

If section.key=None is supplied the key will be deleted.

No validation is done to ensure that the supplied section.key is actually used by a subcommand.
