dolt-config: Modify the value of a local configuration variable, creating it if it doesn't exist.
$ dolt config --add ${name} ${value}
try on your machine

The command "dolt config --add ${name} ${value}" is used to add or update a configuration parameter in Dolt, a version-controlled SQL database.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "dolt config" is the main command to manage Dolt's configuration.
  • "--add" is an option that tells Dolt to add a new configuration parameter.
  • "${name}" is a placeholder for the name of the configuration parameter you want to add or update.
  • "${value}" is a placeholder for the value you want to associate with the configuration parameter.

To use this command, you need to replace "${name}" and "${value}" with actual values. For example, if you wanted to add or update the configuration parameter "user.email" with the value "example@example.com", you would run the command as:

dolt config --add user.email example@example.com

This would add the configuration parameter "user.email" with the value "example@example.com" to your Dolt configuration.
