✨ NAME ✨

App::Cme::Command::dump — literally just: dump the configuration of an application. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌈 VERSION 🌈

version 1.049 — yes queen, we're on 1.049.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay here's the moment, here's the flex:

# dump ~/.ssh/config in cme syntax
# (this example requires Config::Model::OpenSsh)
$ cme dump -format cml ssh
Host:"*" -
Host:"*.debian.org"
  User=dodod -

(it literally says User=dod in there, no cap, i'm not editing the queen's example. 👑)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does this thing DO? it dumps your configuration content onto STDOUT with YAML format. that's the default behavior, and honestly? iconic.

by default it only dumps the custom values — meaning the ones that are different from the application's built-in values or the model's default values. like, it's not gonna show you the defaults you never touched, it shows you what you actually changed. main character values only. ✨

wanna change that? there's a -dumptype option for other types of dump:

-dumptype [ full | custom | non_upstream_default ]

so your choices are:

• full — dump every single value, all of them, the whole buffet 🔥
• custom — only customized values (this is the default, so if you do nothing, this is what you get 💖)
• non_upstream_default — this one is like full mode, but any value that's identical to the application default gets omitted. but bestie, this should seldom happen, fr fr.

and the format? by default you're getting yaml. but you can switch it up in -format to any of these:

• json
• perl
• cml — aka the Config::Model::Loader format, and heads up, cds is also accepted 🫶

👑 Common options 👑

the Common options section says: see "Global Options" in cme. that's where the rest of the tea lives. ☕
