dolt-config:tldr:e7693

The given command, "dolt config --global --add ${name} ${value}", is used to configure global settings in Dolt, which is a version-controlled SQL database.

Let's break down the command:

• "dolt" is the command-line tool for interacting with Dolt.
• "config" is the command to modify Dolt configuration settings.
• "--global" is an option that specifies the configuration should be set globally for the user. Global settings apply to all repositories used by the user.
• "--add" is an option to add a new configuration key-value pair.
• "${name}" is a placeholder for the name of the configuration setting you want to add or modify. You need to replace "${name}" with an actual setting name.
• "${value}" is a placeholder for the value you want to assign to the configuration setting. You need to replace "${value}" with the actual value.

For example, if you want to set the username for your Dolt configuration globally, you can use the following command:

dolt config --global --add user.name "John Doe"

This will add a new configuration setting "user.name" with the value "John Doe" to your global Dolt configuration.
