flox config command

NAME

flox-config - configure user parameters

SYNOPSIS

flox [ <general-options> ] config ([(-l|--list)] | (-r|--reset) | –set <key> <value> | –set-number <key> <number> | –set-bool <key> <bool> | –delete <key>)

DESCRIPTION

Configure and/or display user-specific parameters.

Without any flags or -l or --list shows all configurable options with their computed value.

Key Format

<key> supports dot-separated queries for nested vaules, e.g.

flox config --set 'nix.access_tokens."github.com"' "ghp_xxx"`

Config Format

All config keys can be listed with

flox config

The dispalyed values are resolved by reading:

1. package defaults from $PREFIX/etc/flox.toml
2. installation defaults from /etc/flox.toml
3. user customizations from $HOME/.config/flox/flox.toml
4. environment variables

where the last occurence is used as the final value.

flox config commands that mutate configurations always write to $HOME/.config/flox/flox.toml.

OPTIONS

General Options

Many flox commands wrap Nix commands of the same name, and will correspondingly pass on options and arguments directly to the underlying nix invocation. For more information on the options supported by specific Nix commands please invoke flox nix <command> help.

The following options are used specifically by flox and must be specified before the <command> argument.

-v, --verbose
Verbose mode. Invoke multiple times for increasing detail.

--debug
Debug mode. Invoke multiple times for increasing detail.

-V, --version
Print flox version.

--prefix
Print flox installation prefix / Nix store path. (flox internal use only.)

--bash-passthru
Force execution in flox-bash (flox internal use only.)

Development Options

The following options are supported by all Development Commands:

[(-A|--attr) <package>]
Selects package (aka “attrPath”) to be used. If not provided flox will prompt for you to select from the list of known packages.

[--stability <stability>]
Selects the set of nixpkgs to be used as a basis
