conf-form

A CLI tool to overwrite configuration files using profiles.

The configuration file is parsed using a simplified parser for zeroc configuration.

Only keys in the configuration file are overwritten, if the profile contains a key not present in the configuration file it's ignored.

Examples

Given the following configuration file:

❯ cat conf.txt
Author.Name = eriol
# This comment will be stripped out
Author.Like = rust, python

and the following profile p1.yaml:

# Yes, I like all of them.
Author.Like: rust, python, c++
The.cake.is: a lie # this will be ignored since not in the configuration file

conf-form will produce:

❯ conf-form --config conf.txt --profile p1.yaml
Author.Name = eriol
Author.Like = rust, python, c++

Warnings for keys only present in profiles can be showed using -w flag.

❯ conf-form -w --config conf.txt --profile p1.yaml
Warning: The.cake.is key is not present in config file.
Author.Name = eriol
Author.Like = rust, python, c++
