Configuration of the Contentful CLI

Requirements

General

Your added config parameters are stored in a .contentfulrc.json file in your home directory (~/.contentfulrc.json). The values in this map are used for every command.

The CLI will try to find other .contentfulrc.json files upstream. You can create a .contentfulrc.json file in your current directory to use other stored values for your projects.

Config list

Display a table with all currently used values.

contentful config list

The output should look similar to this:

┌───────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ⚙  activeEnvironmentId: master           │
│ ⚙  host: api.contentful.com              │
└───────────────────────────────────────────┘

Config add

Add a value to the config file.

contentful config add --management-token <management-token>

The output should look similar to this:

✨  config added successfully

Display a list of all flags/values you can add to the config file.

contentful config add --help

The output should look similar to this:

Usage: contentful config add [options]
Options:

                                 creating a httpsAgent                 [boolean]
  --config                       set all the config options at once
