# conf-form # A CLI tool to overwrite configuration files using profiles. The configuration file is parsed using a simplified parser for [zeroc configuration](https://doc.zeroc.com/ice/latest/properties-and-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`: ```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++ ```
