Configuration

config reads and writes whatsdiff's own settings.

The config command output

bash

# View everything
whatsdiff config

# Read one value
whatsdiff config <key>

# Write one value
whatsdiff config <key> <value>

Available settings

whatsdiff caches API responses and changelog data so repeated runs stay fast. Three keys control it:

Key	Type	Default	Description
`cache.enabled`	boolean	`true`	Turn caching on or off
`cache.min-time`	integer	`300`	Minimum cache duration, in seconds
`cache.max-time`	integer	`86400`	Maximum cache duration, in seconds

bash

$ whatsdiff config

cache:
  enabled: true
  min-time: 600
  max-time: 86400

bash

$ whatsdiff config cache.enabled
true

bash

$ whatsdiff config cache.min-time 900
Configuration updated: cache.min-time = 900

bash

$ whatsdiff config cache.enabled false
Configuration updated: cache.enabled = false

To bypass the cache for a single run without changing the setting, pass --no-cache to analyse, audit, or changelog.
