config

Overview

snippbot config list                    # Show all config values
snippbot config get <key>               # Get one value
snippbot config set <key> <value>       # Set a value
snippbot config delete <key>            # Remove (revert to default)
snippbot config path                    # Show config file path
snippbot config init                    # Create config file with defaults

Configuration is stored in ~/.snippbot/config.toml. Values can also be set via environment variables — see Configuration: Priority.
