Configuration

Your CLI stores configuration locally so you don’t have to pass flags on every command.

Setting your API key

your-cli configure --api-key sk-your-key-here

Once set, all commands will use this key automatically. You can still override it per-command with --api-key.

If you need to point your CLI at a different server (e.g., staging):

your-cli configure --base-url https://api.staging.example.com

your-cli configure --show   # View current configuration
your-cli configure --clear  # Reset all configuration

Configuration is stored as JSON at:

~/.config/your-cli/config.json

You can edit this file directly if you prefer.

You can also configure your CLI with environment variables. These take precedence over the config file but are overridden by flags.

Variable	Description
`YOUR_CLI_API_KEY`	API key for authentication
`YOUR_CLI_BASE_URL`	Override the default API base URL

The exact environment variable names depend on your CLI’s name. Check your-cli --help for the specific variable names.
