Steps

#1 View Current Configuration

See all current configuration settings

      initiat config show
      
    

→ Review your current configuration to understand what's set

#2 Set Default Organization

Set your default organization

      initiat config set org "my-company"
      
    

→ This allows you to use project names without specifying the org

#3 Set Default Project

Set your default project

      initiat config set project "production"
      
    

→ This allows you to run commands without specifying the project

#4 Create Project Aliases

Create shortcuts for frequently used projects

      initiat config alias set prod "my-company/production"
initiat config alias set staging "my-company/staging"
initiat config alias set dev "my-company/development"

      
    

→ Aliases make it easier to reference projects with short names

#5 Configure API Settings

Configure API connection settings

      initiat config set api.url "https://api.initiat.dev"
initiat config set api.timeout "60s"

      
    

→ Set custom API URL and timeout for your environment

#6 Verify Configuration

Confirm all settings are correct

      initiat config show
      
    

→ Review your configuration to ensure everything is set up properly
