✨ arduino-cli-config-add ✨

hey bestie 💖 welcome to the ARDUINO COMMAND LINE MANUAL — specifically section 1, the one where we talk about arduino-cli-config-add, and yes, the whole thing is literally just "add stuff to your settings." iconic behavior tbh.

🌸 NAME 🌸

arduino-cli-config-add — adds one or more values to a setting. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a simple queen and she knows it 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

arduino-cli config add [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Adds one or more values to a setting.

ok so fr fr that's the entire description, no notes, no hidden lore. you point her at a setting, you hand her one or more values, she drops them in there. lowkey the cleanest little subcommand in the whole CLI and we stan 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for add. presses the little "what does this do" button and she'll explain herself. no cap.

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the flags she got from her mom, arduino-cli-config. genetically blessed, honestly 🌈

  • --additional-urls=[] — comma-separated list of additional URLs for the Boards Manager.
  • --config-dir="" — sets the default data directory, and just so you know, the Arduino CLI will look for the configuration file in this directory. so she's not just picking a folder, she's picking the folder 👀
  • --config-file="" — the custom config file. if you don't specify one, the default is used, periodt.
  • --json[=false] — print the output in JSON format. for the girlies who want their data structured and machine-readable 💖
  • --log[=false] — print the logs on the standard output.
  • --log-file="" — path to the file where logs will be written. give her a home for her diary 🍓
  • --log-format="text" — the output format for the logs, and the options are: text, json.
  • --log-level="info" — messages with this level and above will be logged. valid levels are: trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic. yes bestie that's seven whole levels of drama and she logs them all 📈
  • --no-color[=false] — disable colored output. use this if color is simply not the vibe today. the rest of us will be over here in full rainbow 🥲

💀 EXAMPLE 💀

two shapes of the same slay. adding one URL:

debian/build/bin/arduino-cli config add board_manager.additional_urls https://example.com/package_example_index.json

and adding several at once, because why text one URL when you can text the whole group chat:

debian/build/bin/arduino-cli config add board_manager.additional_urls https://example.com/package_example_index.json https://another-url.com/package_another_index.json

notice how both lines are exactly the same command with more values stacked on. she's not picky. she's flexible. she's the main character 💅✨

reminder bestie: everything above is [flags] city. the synopsis says [flags] and not [setting] [value...] so don't @ me, I just report what the page says 💖

that's the whole page, you're caught up, go add a value to a setting and feel something 🌸
