Configuration

Overview

CLIConfig extends BaseConfig from quadkit.config with a config_section = "cli". It reads from the [cli] section of application.yaml or environment variables prefixed with QK_CLI__.

from quadkit.cli import CLIConfig

# From YAML (reads [cli] section)
config = CLIConfig.from_yaml("application.yaml")

# Defaults
config = CLIConfig()

Options

Key	Type	Default	Env Var	Description
color	bool	True	QK_CLI__COLOR	Enable coloured terminal output

YAML Example

application.yaml

cli:
  color: true

Environment Variables

export QK_CLI__COLOR=true

Environment variable overrides take precedence over values in application.yaml.

Best Practices

• Use application.yaml for project-wide defaults checked into version control
• Use environment variables for CI/CD and per-deployment overrides
• Set QK_CLI__COLOR=false in CI so logs stay free of terminal escape codes
