config · MachineMail Docs

config get

Read and change CLI settings (config file, keys masked).

Every command also takes the global flags.

config get

Print the value of a config key in effect.

Prints the value the CLI will actually use, after flags and environment variables (so base_url is the default when nothing is set). api_key is always masked. With —json it also says where the value came from.

machinemail config get <key>

Arguments

Examples

machinemail config get base_url
machinemail config get api_key --profile work
machinemail config get current_profile --json

config list

Print the config file, keys masked.

Also: machinemail config ls, machinemail config show.

Every value stored in the config file as key=value lines, with API keys masked. Use machinemail config get <key> for the value in effect after flags and environment variables.

machinemail config list

Examples

machinemail config list
machinemail config list --json

config path

Print the config file path.

The config file is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/machinemail/config.json (or ~/.config/machinemail/config.json), written with mode 0600. MACHINEMAIL_CLI_CONFIG points at another file.

machinemail config path

Examples

machinemail config path
ls -l "$(machinemail config path)"

config set

Set a config key.

Per-profile keys (base_url, api_key) go to the current profile, or the one named with —profile, which is created if needed. For api_key pass - to read it from stdin; machinemail login is better, since it checks the key first.

machinemail config set <key> <value>

Arguments

Examples

machinemail config set update_check true
machinemail config set current_profile work
printf %s "$KEY" | machinemail config set api_key - --profile ci

config unset

Remove a config key (back to its default).

machinemail config unset <key>

Arguments

Examples

machinemail config unset api_key --profile work
machinemail config unset update_check
