Configuration
Environment variables and global flags.
ant needs almost no configuration. The few knobs it has are global flags.
Global flags
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
--data |
root of the on-disk URI tree (default $HOME/data) |
--output / -o |
json (default), or md to render record bodies as Markdown |
--help |
help for any command |
--version |
print the version |
Environment variables
| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
ANT_DATA |
default for --data, the root of the URI tree |
Each domain driver may read its own environment for the site it speaks to (for
example a session cookie or token). Those are documented with the site CLI the
driver comes from; ant passes the environment through unchanged.
