## vespa config get

Show given configuration option, or all configuration options

### Synopsis

Show given configuration option, or all configuration options.

By default, this command prints the effective configuration for the current application, i.e. it takes into account any local configuration located in [working-directory]/.vespa.

When default\_config\_scope is set to "local", this command shows only local configuration by default, if any local configuration is present.

```
vespa config get [option-name] [flags]
```

### Examples

```
$ vespa config get
$ vespa config get target
$ vespa config get --local
$ vespa config get --global
```

### Options

```
-g, --global Show global configuration, overriding default_config_scope
  -h, --help help for get
  -l, --local Show only local configuration, if any
```

### Options inherited from parent commands
