Config

The mani.yaml config is based on the following concepts:

• projects are directories, which may be git repositories, in which case they have an URL attribute
• tasks are shell commands that you write and then run for selected projects
• specs are configs that alter task execution and output
• targets are configs that provide shorthand filtering of projects when executing tasks
• themes are used to modify the output of mani commands

Specs, targets and themes use a default object by default that the user can override to modify execution of mani commands.

Check the files and environment section to see how the config file is loaded.

Below is a config file detailing all of the available options and their defaults.

Files

When running a command, mani will check the current directory and all parent directories for the following files: mani.yaml, mani.yml, .mani.yaml, .mani.yml .

Additionally, it will import (if found) a config file from:

• Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mani/config.yaml or $HOME/.config/mani/config.yaml if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set.
• Darwin: $HOME/Library/Application/mani
• Windows: %AppData%\mani

Both the config and user config can be specified via flags or environments variables.

Environment

MANI_CONFIG
    Override config file path

MANI_USER_CONFIG
    Override user config file path

NO_COLOR
    If this env variable is set (regardless of value) then all colors will be disabled
