Configuration & Updates

Two commands manage the CLI itself rather than any Gene: rotifer config for global settings, and rotifer self-update for staying current.

rotifer config

Read and write global Rotifer configuration. Settings are stored per-user and apply to every project on the machine.

rotifer config <subcommand>

Show every configuration value currently set.

rotifer config list

Configuration
───────────────
update-check: true

Read a single value.

rotifer config get <key>

Argument	Required	Description
`key`	Yes	Configuration key to read

rotifer config get update-check

Write a single value.

rotifer config set <key> <value>

Argument	Required	Description
`key`	Yes	Configuration key to write
`value`	Yes	New value

rotifer config set update-check false

Key	Meaning
`update-check`	Whether the CLI checks for a newer release in the background. Set to `false` to disable the check entirely — useful on CI or offline machines.
`last-version`	The version last seen by the update check. Maintained by the CLI; you rarely set this by hand.
`default-publish`	Default target used by `rotifer publish` when none is given.

Check whether a newer Rotifer release is available and upgrade to it.

rotifer self-update [options]

Options:

Flag	Description
`--rollback`	Return to the previously installed version instead of upgrading. Use this if an upgrade turns out to break something.

# Check and upgrade
rotifer self-update

# Undo the last upgrade
rotifer self-update --rollback
