Configuration

Many aspects of the CLI's behavior can be customized using the ttcli.cfg file generated upon the first usage of the CLI. The file is located in your OS's home directory followed by the path .config/ttcli/ttcli.cfg. If you don't know where that is, you can just run python -c "from ttcli.utils import config_path; print(config_path)".

The default configuration file contains lots of options along with explanations of what they do.

Shell completion

Bash

Add this line to your .bashrc:

eval "$(_TT_COMPLETE=bash_source tt)"

Zsh

Add this line to your .zshrc:

eval "$(_TT_COMPLETE=zsh_source tt)"

Fish
