Titanium CLI Options

Introduction

The CLI configuration options allow you to override or specify default values.  You can specify CLI options three different ways:

1. Set, remove or append values using the titanium config command. 

2. Pass in JSON string using the --config option.  Do not use this parameter with either the ti config or ti setup command.  This may cause errors when the JSON object is written back to the filesystem. 

3. Pass in the location to a JSON file that specifies your CLI options using the --config-file option.
