ant

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.
