Global flags

Heimdall provides global flags available for all commands.

You can display options with -h option

Simple demo

Config file : --config-file or -f

By default, Heimdall will look for a configuration file in the default config directory with the name heimdall.yml.

You can override this value with this flag to specify the path of your configuration file locally.

heimdall git-info -f /work/heimdall.yml

Log directory : --log-dir or -l

By default, Heimdall will write its logs into a file call heimdall.log in the default directory.

You can override this value with this flag to specify the path of your log file locally.

Work directory : --work-dir or -w

By default, Heimdall will run in the home directory. You can override this directory in the configuration-file.

But you can also define it at run time with this option. It will override the potential value existing in the configuration file.

Verbose mode : --verbose or -v

By enabling this option, more logs are traced within the log file and in the console output. This helps to debug if you face some problems running Heimdall.

No color mode : --no-color or -n

By default, Heimdall will display colored output. If you want to disable this feature, you can use this flag.
